It comes fitted with two stainless steel T-bolt clamps for a secure, leak-resistant seal and is cut to an 8\" (203 mm) length with a 5 mm wall thickness. Rated from -60\u0026amp;deg;C to 230\u0026amp;deg;C (-140\u0026amp;deg;F to 428\u0026amp;deg;F) and tested for a bursting pressure up to 2 MPa, it suits turbo plumbing, intake piping, and other automotive or industrial connections that need a reusable, trim-to-fit solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow will this coupler hold up under high engine temperatures?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fuzbaxy coupler is formulated from high-temp pure silicone and reinforced with four internal plies to resist heat hardening and maintain flexibility. Its maximum operating temperature of 230\u0026amp;deg;C (428\u0026amp;deg;F) keeps the hose stable in hot engine bays and turbocharger systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePure silicone compound resists thermal degradation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-ply reinforcement prevents collapse or bursting under pressure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated max temperature: 230\u0026amp;deg;C (428\u0026amp;deg;F).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTested bursting pressure: up to 2 MPa for added reliability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the diameter and length a true fit for 2.5\" piping and trim-to-fit applications?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe inner diameter is specified at 2.5\" (51 mm) and the hose ships at an 8\" (203 mm) length with a 5 mm wall thickness, which makes it a direct fit for nominal 2.5\" systems or a convenient piece to trim down.
