Vibrant Silicone Coupling 4 Ply Aramid CAC Transition Hose 3.25in x 3in Inlet/Outlet - Black

Vibrant Performance Aramid Reinforced Charge Air Cooler Hose Couplers are ideal for compensating minor misalignment as well as isolating vibration. The Stainless Steel rings prevent excessive expansion of the hose due to elevated pressures. All Vibrant Performance Silicone CAC Hose Couplers feature High Temperature Resistant Aramid Reinforcement Fabric between each layer of silicone which allows for an impressive Operating Temperature Range of -75 Degrees F to 392 Degrees F (-60 Degrees C to 200 Degrees C). These Hose Couplers are suitable for both hot and cold side applications and water, coolant and air service only.

The Vibrant VIB11864 Silicone CAC Transition Hose Coupler is designed for charge air cooler, intake, and boost piping systems that require a secure connection between differently sized inlet and outlet tubes. Its 4-ply silicone construction uses high-temperature-resistant aramid reinforcement fabric between each layer to provide strength, flexibility, and reliable performance in demanding automotive applications. The black finish offers a clean, professional appearance suitable for custom and performance builds.

Stainless steel rings help limit excessive hose expansion under elevated pressure while allowing the coupler to compensate for minor alignment variations. This design also helps isolate vibration between connected components, reducing stress on piping and fittings. The transition profile connects a 3.25-inch tube to a 3-inch tube, making it useful for hot-side or cold-side charge air applications where a stepped coupler is required.

Vibrant engineered the VIB11864 for an operating temperature range of -75 to 392 degrees Fahrenheit. The coupler is suitable for air, water, and coolant service only, making it a versatile choice for turbocharged and intercooler plumbing systems. Use quality clamps appropriate for the application to help ensure a dependable seal and long service life.

For builders seeking a durable and adaptable connection solution, the Vibrant VIB11864 combines reinforced silicone construction, stainless steel support rings, and a flexible transition design. It is well suited to automotive performance, motorsport, fabrication, and replacement applications where reliable charge air system performance is essential.
