Accuracy
The dimensional accuracy of the intake hose is very important. Therefore, the manufacturing process must be controlled to meet the requirements of the original design.
Material
You should consider the following factors:
- The operating temperature of the equipment or vehicle in which the hose is used
- the working environment of the equipment or vehicle
- Required flexibility and vacuum resistance
- Resistant to ozone, UV light, or chemicals
- Vibration and mounting requirements
Hose style
When it comes to rubber intake hoses, there are different styles in molded hoses (such as radiator hoses), lightweight, convoluted, heavy duty, serpentine hoses, and elastic hoses. Each design/style has features that can improve the performance cost of your installation, and your needs may dictate which one is best for your application.
