Flexfab 5581-550X12, 5.50" x 12 ft, 4-Ply Blue Silicone Coolant Hose, 140mm
Keep your cooling system sealed and reliable in the harshest engine bays with the Flexfab 5581-550X12 4-ply silicone coolant hose. A versatile heavy-duty coolant hose for diesel, automotive, marine, agricultural, and industrial cooling systems — including city transit, school buses, and refuse fleets — this 5.50" ID hose resists the hardening, cracking, and aging that cut the life of ordinary rubber hose — so you replace it less and trust it more.
Why this Flexfab 4-ply coolant hose
- 4-ply polyester reinforcement — delivers a 100 PSI actual burst rating, which means a wide safety margin at the ~33 PSI working pressure of most cooling systems.
- −65°F to +350°F range — silicone construction stays flexible in winter cold and holds up to under-hood heat, so it won’t go brittle or soften.
- Meets SAE J20 R1 Class A & TMC RP303B Class I Grade II — spec-grade performance fleets can document and rely on.
- 5.50" (140mm) ID × 5.89" (150mm) OD, .170"/.220" wall — precise sizing for a clean clamp seal.
- Resists oil splash, ozone, and direct sunlight — engineered for long service life in hostile engine environments.
Cut to a 12-foot stick and ready to install, this hose pairs with a Flexfab 2584-0612 clamp for a leak-free connection that handles repeated heat cycles without loosening.
Backed by hpcouplers’ fast shipping and easy returns — order with confidence from a trusted industrial hose and coupler supplier.
