Value Collection BD-9932-15/8 Radiator Hose 3 Ft Silicone

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-9932-15/8 is a straight silicone radiator hose designed for high-temperature coolant transfer in engine cooling systems. Measuring 3 feet in length with a 1-5/8 inch inner diameter, this hose handles continuous service up to 350 degrees F, making it suitable for demanding thermal environments where standard rubber hoses degrade prematurely. The blue silicone construction offers flexibility and resistance to heat cycling. It is typically installed by automotive technicians, diesel mechanics, and equipment service professionals working on radiator and coolant circuit repairs or custom builds.

This hose fits residential, commercial, and industrial engine cooling applications where a straight silicone hose at 1-5/8 inch diameter is required. Common install scenarios include radiator inlet and outlet connections, intercooler piping, and coolant overflow routing on gasoline and diesel engines. Its 3-foot length provides enough stock to cut to the required run or to serve as a direct replacement on systems that accept this diameter and length.

Key Features

• Silicone construction withstands continuous temperatures up to 350 degrees F
• 1-5/8 inch inner diameter suits a wide range of cooling system fittings
• 3-foot length allows trimming to fit specific routing needs
• Blue color provides easy visual identification during service
• Resists heat cycling, making it a durable alternative to standard EPDM hose

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade hose for engine cooling systems requiring a straight silicone radiator hose with a 1-5/8 inch inner diameter and up to 3 feet of length.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified automotive or diesel technicians. Drain and depressurize the cooling system completely before removing any existing hose. Secure hose ends with properly rated clamps and verify there are no kinks or sharp bends that could restrict coolant flow. Allow the cooling system to reach operating temperature and inspect all connections for leaks before returning the equipment to service.
