    FAQ

    Q1: How do I choose the right straight hose length for my application? A: Standard 76mm length suits most connections. For tight spaces use 50mm. Long connections require 100-150mm. Complex circuits can use 300-500mm versions or cut our 3-metre hose. Plan minimum 20mm engagement under clamp each end for optimal sealing.

    Q2: What's the difference between 3-ply and 4-ply wall thickness? A: Our hoses up to 38mm diameter are 3-ply (3 polyester layers, thickness 4.3mm). From 41mm onwards, 4-ply construction (4 layers, thickness 5mm) for increased strength. 4-ply supports higher pressures and better suits high-pressure turbo applications or large flow rates.

    Q3: Can I use a straight hose as fuel or oil line? A: No, our standard VMQ silicone hoses resist vapors but not permanent fuel/oil contact. For these applications order our specific FKM/Viton fuel hoses or consult our custom service. VMQ perfect for water, air, intercooler but unsuitable for fuel circuits.

    Q4: How do I connect two pipes with slightly different diameters? A: If difference under 2mm, silicone adapts with appropriate tightening. For larger gaps use our dedicated reducer hoses. Never force straight hose onto unsuitable diameter, risk of tearing or leakage. Precisely measure pipe outer diameter before ordering.

    Q5: Do your hoses resist modern long-life coolants? A: Fully compatible with all coolants G11, G12, G13, OAT/HOAT/Si-OAT formulations. Exceptional chemical resistance, no degradation with modern anticorrosion additives. Tests validated 200,000km with manufacturer fluids. Flushing recommended when changing fluid type.

    Q6: How many 60mm hoses length 100mm do you stock? A: Permanent stock minimum 20 units common references like 60x100mm. Popular diameters 45-76mm always immediately available. For orders exceeding 50 identical pieces, 48h pre-order enables optimal preparation. Continuous replenishment guarantees availability 365 days/year.

    Q7: How do I cut your 3-metre hose cleanly? A: Use new craft knife or fine hacksaw. Mark complete circumference before cutting for straightness. Lightly deburr inside after cutting. For multiple identical cuts make template. Avoid scissors which crush walls. Lubricate blade for clean cut.

    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.
