ClaudeMachining Posted May 2, 2017 Report Posted May 2, 2017 Hi, i'm doing an exhaust clamp and i'm looking for high temp silicon tubing with 1" ID. I already got tubing from McMasterCar, but it's only rated 400F (the maximum they got) and i'm not sure if it's enough. Any help finding higner rated tubing??? Thx. NB: the new clamp will be tits and 100% leak free! Quote

ClaudeMachining Posted May 2, 2017 Author Report Posted May 2, 2017 I've heard hydraulic hose works. But to be honest I always order mine from Toomey. Yeah, but they tend to crack and they are too thick for what i want to do. By now, i find some 500F rated but they dont go beyond 7/8" ID or they sell it by 100 feets long... Quote
J-Madd Posted May 2, 2017 Report Posted May 2, 2017 What about the stuff F.A.ST. sells? http://farmandsandtoys.com/ocart2/categories/exhaust-pipes Sent from my STV100-1 using Tapatalk Quote
trickedcarbine Posted May 2, 2017 Report Posted May 2, 2017 Hit up Jeff at Fast. Pretty sure he'll sell it in bulk. Quote
Keno Posted May 2, 2017 Report Posted May 2, 2017 Pretty sure everyone uses standard silicone heater hose. Like Flexfab 5526 Quote
ClaudeMachining Posted May 2, 2017 Author Report Posted May 2, 2017 Those like the fast have are easy to get. But they have more than 1/8 wall. I want 1" id and 1.25od Quote
Keno Posted May 3, 2017 Report Posted May 3, 2017 http://www.ebay.com/itm/321335857328 maybe the 25x31mm? Quote
ClaudeMachining Posted May 4, 2017 Author Report Posted May 4, 2017 http://www.ebay.com/itm/321335857328 maybe the 25x31mm? Nice find man, I will order some to try them. Quote
JUSTWANNARACE Posted May 5, 2017 Report Posted May 5, 2017 Fluid connectors has high temp silicone hose that works well its blue with a red center.. used it for years and no melting issues.. not sure if you have a fluid connectors in Canada but most ag shops will stock it. Quote
JUSTWANNARACE Posted May 5, 2017 Report Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) The hardest thing about the billet clamps is the fitment and trying to get them in all the way. I think a 2 piece clamp with a step from front to rear would work great. Slide the hose on, get the pipes fitted, then bolt on the 2 piece clamp to sucure.. jmo Edited May 5, 2017 by JUSTWANNARACE Quote

My clamp got dual inner diameter with a nice round transition. Thats why im able to use a thiner tube. You will have a right and a left clamp. I'm in my bath right now, I'll make you a drawing later to be sure we understand each other. Envoyé de mon SM-G935W8 en utilisant Tapatalk Quote
ClaudeMachining Posted May 5, 2017 Author Report Posted May 5, 2017 Look like this. I don't need a thick walled rubber, that's why I don't want to use the 'common' one. Envoyé de mon SM-G935W8 en utilisant Tapatalk Quote
ClaudeMachining Posted May 6, 2017 Author Report Posted May 6, 2017 Working perfectly!! I hope the 390F rated hose will work. I'm not looking for a hose to work at least one season. Envoyé de mon SM-G935W8 en utilisant Tapatalk Quote
