Federal Hose silicone heater hoses offer superior heat resistance, longer lifespan, flexibility, and durability compared to traditional rubber hoses, making them ideal for demanding automotive and industrial applications.
Advantages of Federal Hose Silicone Heater Hose
High Temperature Resistance
Operates reliably from -65°F to +450°F.
Perfect for engines, turbo systems, and other high-heat environments where rubber would degrade.
Durability & Longevity
Silicone hoses resist cracking, hardening, and dry rot far better than rubber.
They often outlast the vehicle itself, reducing replacement frequency and long-term costs.
Flexibility & Vibration Resistance
Remains flexible across extreme temperatures.
Handles vibration and movement without splitting, which is crucial in high-performance or off-road vehicles.
Chemical & Environmental Resistance
Resistant to ozone, UV rays, and many coolants that can damage rubber hoses.
Performs well in harsh environments, including exposure to dust, fumes, and light powders.
Performance Applications
Commonly used in motorsports, racing, and heavy-duty vehicles where reliability under stress is critical.
Federal Hose offers custom lengths and diameters (1” to 8” ID), making them versatile for different setups.
Cost Efficiency Over Time
While initial cost is higher than rubber, the extended service life means fewer replacements and lower cost per mile.
