Radium 8AN Universal DIY PTFE Hose Kit Black
Note: DIY Kit - Requires assembly of hose ends to hose
PTFE HOSE
PTFE is the ultimate hose material. It has outstanding resistance to chemicals including alcohol fuels such as methanol, ethanol, E85 and leaded fuels such as race gas. It is also suitable for brake, transmission, clutch, power steering, and coolant. PTFE hose has ~zero~ permeation and will not emit vapors like rubber fuel hose, so it is safe to use in confined spaces such as a vehicle’s trunk or small garage.
All Radium Engineering PTFE hoses have been successfully tested in-house to 1200psi although PTFE can typically withstand 2500psi+. They are also for extreme temperatures (-94F to +480F). They feature an extruded PTFE (fluoropolymer) core wrapped in a stainless steel wire braided sleeve. The outer coating is determined by the assembly process: Universal DIY ends (braided PET) or preassembled crimped ends (smooth PVC). All hose ends are type-II black anodized aluminum.
PTFE HOSE ENDS
These hose ends are specific to PTFE hose and cannot be used with rubber hose. Each fitting is machined from aluminum and anodized black. Internal O-rings permit swivelling.
