I went to this website: http://www.bakerprecision.com/purosil2.htm

damn.. it's expensive...

does anybody know if i can buy this locally???

if not, plz soembody give me a price...

man.. this thing is even more expensive than a steel pipe

 

I had asked Viren this question before and he told me to go to Napa auto parts and get fuel hose because it is just as durable. The one by me did not have it though. I was looking for 2" diameter. Is this for you lower i/c pipe?

hey arturbo,

is there a place on the website that has the product listing or prices, or do you just have to contact them via email/phone.

thanks,
bryan

 

if you can find just a rubber hose it will be much cheaper

 

Yeah buying silicone 90's really sucks. The prices on that website you listed are actually pretty good believe it or not. I just paid $49 locally for a 2.75' 90 I needed it really bad though.

Search your yellow pages for a Diesel Truck Repair shop. Or Truck Emergency Repair shop. They will be near the interstates.

They will stock all sorts of Silicone connectors for the Diesel turbo trucks.

I got my 2" couplers there cheaper than the web.

Look for it!!

I have one of these for sale



it fits up to 2.5" OD of the piping....

10 bucks if you want it

 

Would home depot rubber hose connectors for cast iron sewage pipe work? Or would it melt? I figure at restaunts when they're washing dishes the water going down the drain is pretty damn hot, but I'm still not sure. The 2" sewage pipe connector fits 2.5" pipes, the 1 1/2" stuff fits 2" pipes. They're like 3 bux each with two hose clamps included in the deal.

 

it will work but not right off of the compressor. that would be too hot in my opinion

 

i need a 2.25"

thanks

I will check out those discel truck repair shop
or Napa....

what are these stuff call?? plz give me the term, i hate finding something that i don't know the name

 

the home depot stuff is ****...it'll get cracked and britlle with heat, in a ver shorrt time...

besides, their 90 deg is very long *** wide 90 deg

these are call Nitrile Rubber hose, very flexible, crossway between true silicone and rubbber.. Drag kit comes with one of these...

I have the 2.25" OD piping connector as well, if you want...

stan

PS: if you have a bead welded on the piping, you might wanna go with .25 size larger....for example if your piping is 2.25"OD and you have welded bead, then go with 2.5"

Actually I use the home depot one. It ruptured at about 10 psi so I cut it along the shorter side and wrapped it around another home depot 90 and put 3 hose clamps along it to make it "rupture-proof". Used with 2 T-clamps it has worked great so far....and much cheaper as well!!

 

i just bought this 2.25 pipe from http://www.jcwhitney.com
so.. i think 2.25 would be good....

hmmm......yeah sure, if i can get it off a fellow H-T member, sure why not

email me plz

ywcheung@shaw.ca

thanks

 

i thought home depot only has those connectors, not 90degree... maybe i should check it out now?

thanks

 

preludes with drag setup run the 90 right off the compressor. works fine.

 

alright
i went to home depot

they ONLY have 1.5" 90 degree elbow...made of rubber

then i found a 2" 90 degree elbow, but these are plastic, hard plastic.. would this be fine??

or i should get a silicone 90 degree elbow ? maybe i can find them at Napa??

thanks

 

i'd be afraid of running hard plastic
try to get silicone.. if not rubber should be fine. drag kits come with rubber elbows.

 

well it's nitrile elbow...good to withstand up to 275 deg F...

it's not pure rubber...

 

hey, Flamenco, i will try to find it locally tomorrow
if i can't find it, i will get it from you

i really want to get it locally, coz i want to fix my car ASAP...

thanks

 

no problem....

just let me know when you need it....

anopther place you might want to look for is like a 18 wheeler truck repair hub, they usually carries silicone hoses and nitrile stuff, but the problem is they only have a larger size liek 2.75 to 4", but let me know anywya...

stan

 

I use the home depot connectors on my setup.

1 year, 12,000 miles, and NO Problems. no signs of cracking either.

 

where did you guys find your Home Depot 90 degree elbow rubber that is like 2" or 3" OD???

i couldn't find it under the plumbing section

 

im trying to find a 2.5"-2" reducer. then im just going to get the home depot stuff. anyone have one or can tell me where to get one. bakerprecision is out of stock.
