REDOX T-piece branch hoses provide the ideal solution for creating tapping points and branches in high-performance automotive circuits. Manufactured from multi-layer reinforced VMQ silicone, these hoses integrate a perpendicular side outlet enabling addition of sensors, bleeds, catch tanks or auxiliary circuits without major structural modifications. Available in main diameters from 12mm to 76mm with standardized 25mm branches, they perfectly resist temperatures -40°C to +180°C and pressures up to 5 bar in most demanding cooling, turbo and intake circuits.

Our permanent stock of 22 references guarantees immediate availability for all projects. Orders placed before 5pm ship same day, GLS delivery assured within 24-48 hours throughout Europe. This logistics responsiveness meets urgent requirements of tuners, professional mechanics and enthusiasts during engine modifications.

Preferred applications include temperature sensor installation in cooling circuits, turbo wastegate bypass creation, oil vapor catch can addition, auxiliary expansion tank connections and pressure gauge integration. Compatible with Subaru Impreza WRX STI, Ford Focus RS, Volkswagen GTI, BMW M-Series and numerous other European and Japanese sports vehicles. VMQ silicone construction with polyester reinforcement guarantees perfect sealing at T-junctions, exceptional durability against chemical aggression and performance maintenance under extreme conditions. Our transparent pricing includes detailed dimensions facilitating optimal selection according to specific configuration of your custom installation. These professional-grade components excel in demanding motorsport applications where reliability and precise fluid management determine success.

FAQ

Q1: How do I choose between a T-piece and Y-connector for my circuit? A: T-piece creates a perpendicular 90° outlet, ideal for sensors, bleeds or auxiliary circuits with reduced flow. Y-connector divides flow into two equal 45° branches. Use T for sampling or minor additions, Y for balanced main flow distribution.

Q2: What branch size for temperature sensor installation? A: Our standard 25mm branches perfectly suit M12-M14 temperature sensors. For larger sensors or flow meters, opt for our custom T-pieces with 32-38mm branches. Branch should never exceed 50% of main diameter to avoid flow disruptions.

Q3: Can I use a T-piece on high-pressure turbo circuit? A: Yes, our VMQ silicone T-pieces support 5 bar continuously, sufficient for petrol turbo circuits up to 2.5 bar and diesel 3 bar. For higher pressures or extreme racing applications, reinforce with double clamps and regularly inspect T-junction.

Q4: How do I correctly install the T-piece to avoid leaks? A: Position branch upward or sideways, never downward (liquid accumulation). Use silicone lubricant on three connections. Tighten main clamp pressure-side first, then branch, finally outlet. Minimum distance 15mm between clamp and T-junction. Installation 30-45 minutes.

Q5: Does the T-piece reduce my circuit performance? A: Negligible impact with correct usage. Pressure loss under 3% with closed branch or small flow extraction. For critical high-performance applications, place T after exchanger/radiator rather than pump/turbo outlet to minimize disruptions.

Q6: Are your T-pieces compatible with modern coolants? A: Perfectly compatible with all coolants G11 to G13, including hybrid OAT/HOAT formulations. Also resist engine oil vapors, fuel vapors but not recommended for permanent direct fuel contact (use FKM/Viton for petrol).

Q7: Can I order T-piece with different branch diameter than standard 25mm? A: Standard stock offers 25mm branches covering 90% of needs. For special branches 6-50mm, consult our custom service. Lead time 6 weeks, minimum order 1 piece. Surcharge approximately 30% versus standard.
