Hose Internal Diameter 14mm Length 4000mm Silicone VMQ

Product Definition and Technical Specifications

The REDOX 14mm silicone hose represents a premium technical solution for all your automotive and industrial installations requiring resistance and reliability. Manufactured from VMQ silicone (Vinyl Methyl Silicone), this hose offers exceptional mechanical and thermal properties adapted to the most demanding environments.

Detailed Technical Characteristics:

• Internal diameter: 14mm
• Length: 4 metres as continuous roll
• Wall thickness: 4mm
• Construction: 3-ply
• Material: VMQ silicone reinforced with polyester fabric
• External diameter: 22mm (14mm + 8mm wall thickness)
• Temperature range: -60°C to +180°C
• Pressure resistance: suitable for high-pressure applications
• Flexibility: excellent suppleness maintained even at extreme temperatures

The 3-ply construction ensures a robust structure composed of alternating layers of VMQ silicone and polyester reinforcement. This multi-layer architecture guarantees optimal resistance to deformation under pressure whilst maintaining the flexibility necessary for complex installations.

The VMQ silicone used exhibits remarkable resistance to ageing, UV rays, ozone and weathering. Unlike traditional rubber hoses that harden and crack over time, REDOX silicone retains its elastic properties over the long term.

Applications and Recommended Installations

This versatile hose meets the needs of automotive professionals, motorsport and industry:

Automotive Applications:

• Engine cooling circuits

• Depression and vacuum lines
• Radiator bypasses and expansion tanks
• Cabin heating hoses
• Turbocharger and intercooler connections

Motorsport Applications:

• High-performance engine preparations
• Custom turbo installations
• Racing cooling circuits
• Reinforced intake systems

Industrial and Marine Applications:

• Low and medium pressure fluid transfer
• Machine cooling circuits
• Marine applications resistant to salt water

Advantages of VMQ Silicone Material:

VMQ silicone distinguishes itself from conventional elastomers through its exceptional thermal stability. Capable of operating from -60°C to +180°C, it maintains its flexibility even in extreme cold where rubber becomes rigid and brittle. Its high-temperature resistance makes it ideal for engine compartments where heat can reach elevated levels.

The chemical resistance of VMQ silicone covers a wide spectrum: excellent resistance to glycol-based coolants, water, animal and vegetable fats, transmission fluids and engine oils. This hose is perfectly suited for contact with antifreeze and coolants without risk of degradation.

The polyester reinforcement integrated into the 3-ply construction provides the necessary rigidity to prevent the hose from collapsing and kinking during installation or operation. This textile reinforcement allows the constant cross-section to be maintained even under vacuum, guaranteeing optimal flow.

Installation Ease:

The 4-metre roll allows cutting to the exact length required for your application, eliminating waste and optimising your budget. The flexibility of silicone facilitates routing through difficult access areas whilst retaining its shape after installation.

The smooth interior and exterior surface ensures clean installation with standard hose clamps. Silicone does not absorb moisture and resists condensation formation - a major asset for installation longevity.

Permanent Stock Availability and Express Delivery

REDOX maintains substantial stock of 14mm silicone hoses to guarantee immediate availability of this highly demanded diameter. Your order is dispatched the same day if placed before 5pm, allowing you to continue your projects without interruption.

REDOX Logistics Commitment:

Our fast shipping service covers all of mainland France and Europe with 48-hour delivery. Professionals appreciate the reliability of our delivery times which enable optimal stock and intervention management.

Careful packaging protects your hoses during transport. Each roll is delivered ready to use, without creases or deformations that could compromise installation.

For workshops, garages and preparers, having REDOX 14mm silicone hose stock means being able to respond immediately to customer requests, whether for urgent repairs or custom preparations.

Accessible Professional Quality:

REDOX selects its raw materials according to strict criteria to offer industrial-grade VMQ silicone at competitive pricing. This approach enables professionals and enthusiasts alike to access high-performance components without compromising on quality.

Investment in high-performance silicone hoses is justified by their superior durability. Where a rubber hose must be replaced after several years of thermal exposure, REDOX silicone retains its properties for considerably longer, reducing maintenance costs.
