I'm looking for a flexible hose to recirculate a blow off valve.

I bought some SFS hose which is pictured with some tight looking bend radius but it really isn't that flexible.

any one tried samco xtraflex?

other options?

 

I am wondering the same thing

 

I am using Samco flex hoses. Pic shown

 

that is very similar to what I'll end up with. while the sfs stuff I bought will do a bend like that -I was worried that it would "spring" load and fatigue the blowoff valve fittings and pipe work. the spring in the sfs hose is very strong and the hose prefers to be straight. it would take about 2lbs of weight to hold the hose in that shape.

can the samco do a tighter bend and how stiff would you describe the hose as?

 

I used some flexible radiator hose . Not great for looks but does the job nicely

 

yeah I'm kind of after a more refined look and the bling of silicone

 

Simple, silicone for the wife, radiator hose for the car, everybody wins!

 

They will not crack or split. They are good quailty and can withstand a good amount of heat. As usual with Samco they are great quailty. See Charles Hill for good pricing on the hose kit.
