labwork 24" Universal Flexible Stainless Steel Radiator Hose Kit with Chromed Caps for Chevy Ford LS Swap

Key Features

• Flexible Custom Routing: Eliminates the hassle of searching for pre-molded rubber hoses with the exact right bends. The heavy-duty flexible stainless steel design can be shaped easily to clear any engine bay obstacles.

• Superior Durability: Crafted from high-grade stainless steel that will not rot, crack, collapse under pressure, or fall apart over time like standard factory rubber hoses.

• Universal Adapter System: Comes complete with a comprehensive set of rubber sleeve adapters and reducers, making it highly adaptable to multiple radiator neck sizes.

• Premium Aesthetics: Features beautifully chromed aluminum end-cap covers that conceal the hose connections, giving your engine bay a clean, high-end show-car finish.

Important Installation Notes

• Measure Before Cutting: If you need to trim the hose length for a tighter fit, ensure you use proper metal-cutting tools and clean any burrs from the edges before sliding on the rubber adapters.

• Secure Clamp Placement: Always position the worm-gear clamps centrally over the rubber sleeves to guarantee a high-pressure, leak-proof seal.

• Professional Installation Recommended: Because this involves your vehicle's primary engine cooling system, professional installation by a certified mechanic is highly advised to avoid overheating risks.
