Silicone hoses - Hump hoses and bellows

Silicone hoses - Hump hoses and bellows

Silicone hump hoses and bellows are available in over 500 shapes and sizes for flexible jointing and vibration isolation in air intake, turbocharger, coolant and industrial process systems. Constructed from high-grade silicone elastomer, these silicone connector hoses offer thermal stability, compression set resistance and flexibility across a wide temperature range; available in molded and fabricated forms with options for fabric reinforcement or embedded wire for shape retention.

Materials provide resistance to ozone, UV and many diluted oils; specific chemical compatibility should be confirmed for each application. Standard and bespoke sizes can be supplied—contact our team for technical advice on selection, reinforcement and dimensional tolerances.

Silicone hump hoses and bellows for industrial connections

Silicone hump hoses and bellows provide flexible, high-temperature resistant connections commonly used in engine intake systems, ducting, and vibration-isolating couplings. Available in a broad range of shapes and sizes, these silicone connector hoses are suitable for applications where flexibility, compression recovery and resistance to heat and ozone are relevant design considerations. RuplaTec supplies a range of silicone hoses aimed at industrial and marine customers; material options and construction details can be discussed with our technical team.

Sizing, selection and technical support for silicone hoses

Selection typically considers inner diameter, wall thickness, profile and required axial or lateral movement. For project-specific selection, dimensional drawings, material information or bespoke lengths may be provided on request where available. Typical application notes include pressure range compatibility, temperature limits and reinforcement options, but suitability should be confirmed against the specific operating conditions. For an overview of standard shapes and variants see the silicone hoses range or contact our team for application advice and supply options.

FAQ

What are silicone hump hoses and bellows used for?

Silicone hump hoses and bellows are flexible connector hoses used to join ducting, intercooler piping, intake systems, and other fluid or air transfer routes where vibration, misalignment or movement occurs. Their convoluted or reinforced profiles provide flexibility, strain relief and the ability to accommodate angular or axial movement without transferring load to adjacent components. Hump shapes offer gentle curvature for routing, while bellows absorb axial and lateral movement. For technical selection or system compatibility, contact our team for advice.

How do I choose the correct silicone hose (hump hose, bellows or connector hose) for my application?

Selecting the correct silicone hose requires matching the hose profile and internal diameter to the mating components and considering routing constraints and movement characteristics. Also assess material grade for thermal and chemical conditions, reinforcement for vacuum or pressure retention, and suitable end fittings or clamp types. Review system operating conditions and compatibility data before finalising. For assistance in choosing the optimal profile and material for a given application, contact our team for advice.

What installation and maintenance practices are recommended for silicone connector hoses and bellows?

Proper installation and maintenance extend service life of silicone connector hoses and bellows. During installation, avoid sharp bends, kinks or compressive loads and verify that clamps and fittings do not impose cutting or excessive point loads. Allow for recommended hose movement at joints and ensure surfaces are clean and free of contaminants before assembly. Periodically inspect hoses for surface degradation, hardening, or loss of flexibility and replace components showing ageing or damage. For application-specific installation practices and maintenance schedules, contact our team for advice.

Are silicone hoses compatible with specific fluids and operating conditions?

Silicone hoses offer a wide range of thermal stability and environmental resistance characteristics suitable for many industrial air and fluid handling applications. However, chemical compatibility with specific fluids, oils or solvents varies by silicone formulation and reinforcement. Pressure, vacuum and abrasion resistance are influenced by hose construction and reinforcement layers. Always consult material compatibility data and the application’s operating conditions before selecting a hose. If you require help assessing chemical compatibility or selecting an appropriate silicone bellows or hump hose, contact our team for advice.
