FAQs

What are Hose Bones used for?

HOSE BONES are great to use when you want to make a bend in a hose without having to use ugly ribbed hoses or when there just isn't a molded hose for that part.

Can I reuse Hose Bones if I upgrade or change my vehicle?

Yes, Hose Bones can be reformed and reused as long as they are not cut shorter than needed for the new application.

How do I choose between Carbon Fiber/Kevlar and Dragon Skin Hose Skins?

Carbon Fiber/Kevlar is ideal for areas with high abrasion and heat exposure, while Dragon Skin offers superior heat shielding and a unique look.

What if the Hose Bones kit doesn't fit my specific hose diameter?

The kits come with rubber adapters to fit a range of hose diameters, and the stainless steel skeleton can accommodate slight variations in size.

How do I ensure the Hose Bones maintain their form once shaped?

Once you have shaped your Hose Bones to the desired configuration, applying heat to the stainless steel skeleton can help reinforce the form. This process allows the metal to 'set' into the shape, ensuring it retains the configuration even under pressure or temperature fluctuations. Always allow the structure to cool down naturally after heating for the best results.

Are Hose Bones environmentally resistant?

Yes, Hose Bones are designed to be extremely durable and resistant to various environmental factors including UV rays, ozone, and extreme weather conditions. The silicone jacket and Hose Skins add an extra layer of protection, making them suitable for use in harsh environments without degrading.

Can Hose Bones be used for applications other than automotive?

While primarily designed for automotive use, Hose Bones' flexible and durable design makes them suitable for other applications that require custom-formed hoses capable of withstanding high temperatures and pressures. This includes certain industrial, marine, and aerospace applications. Always ensure to check the compatibility with the specific fluids and operating conditions of these other systems.

5 STEP INSTALLATION

STEP 1

Determine the length needed for your specific application and cut the Hose Bones to size.

STEP 2

Bend the stainless steel skeleton to match your desired shape. Heat can be applied to help form tougher bends.

STEP 3

Use the included Boa Clamps and Super Shrink to secure the hose ends after fitting the adapters if necessary.

STEP 4

Cover the formed Hose Bones with the provided Hose Skins for additional protection and aesthetics.

STEP 5

Make any final adjustments to ensure a perfect fit and secure attachment to the vehicle.
