90° Silicone Elbow 38mm - Length 150mm

High-performance 90° silicone elbow for pressurized systems

This 90-degree silicone elbow with 38mm internal diameter provides the ideal solution for connecting turbo charging systems, engine cooling circuits or air intake systems. With its 150x150mm axis-to-axis dimensions, it adapts perfectly to demanding technical configurations in engine tuning and turbo applications.

Reinforced 3-ply technical construction

The VMQ silicone (Vinyl Methyl Silicone) construction with polyester fabric reinforcement guarantees exceptional resistance to mechanical and thermal stress. The 4mm wall thickness and 3-ply structure ensure optimal performance under high boost pressures and temperature variations. This silicone hose reliably withstands coolant, oil vapors, fuel vapors and compressed air from turbo systems.

Automotive and industrial applications

Perfectly suited for turbo installations, intercoolers, radiators and intake systems, this 38mm elbow equips both competition vehicles and street performance builds. The 90-degree geometry facilitates installations in tight engine bays while maintaining optimal airflow. The 38mm diameter matches standard specifications for mid-range turbos and high-performance air-to-air intercoolers.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

What maximum pressure can this 38mm silicone elbow handle?
The 3-ply construction with 4mm thickness allows reliable use up to 2 bar continuous pressure, with admissible peaks at 3 bar. This resistance suits standard turbo applications and moderate performance builds.

Is this elbow compatible with permanent coolant?
Absolutely. VMQ silicone perfectly resists glycols and additives contained in modern coolants, without degradation or softening within the -60°C to +180°C range.

How do I choose the right hose clamps?
For a 38mm internal diameter, opt for stainless steel clamps 32-50mm or 40-60mm depending on the thickness of the connections. Reinforced W4 44-47mm clamps provide increased security for high-pressure installations.

Can I use this elbow on an engine oil circuit?
No, this elbow resists oil vapors but is not designed for prolonged direct contact with pressurized engine oil. For oil circuits, choose specific hoses resistant to liquid hydrocarbons.

Does the color affect the elbow's performance?
Technical performance is strictly identical regardless of color. The choice between blue, black or red is purely aesthetic for engine bay appearance and personal preference.

What is the average lifespan of this silicone elbow?
Under normal operating conditions (temperature and pressure respected), this elbow maintains its mechanical properties for 5 to 7 years. UV exposure may accelerate surface aging without compromising internal structure.

Can this elbow replace an original rubber hose?
Yes, provided the dimensions match. Silicone offers superior thermal and mechanical resistance compared to original EPDM rubber, while eliminating risks of premature swelling and cracking.

Does installation require specific tools?
No, installation is performed with standard hose clamps and an appropriate screwdriver or wrench. Simply ensure that contact surfaces are clean and dry before assembly.
