Description
Material of the Bent Heater Hose for the Carbureted Saipa Pride (Bent Heater Hose for Saipa Pride Carburetor)
This bent heater hose is produced with two types of materials: EPDM (high-quality) and SBR (standard). The yarn used in its construction is 600 polyester series.
The primary benefit of this yarn is its ability to prevent water leakage, minimize water loss, and provide antifreeze properties to the hose.
Lifespan of the Bent Heater Hose for the Carbureted Saipa Pride (Bent Heater Hose for Saipa Pride Carburetor)
The lifespan of the hose depends on the material used:
-
EPDM: The hose made from EPDM generally lasts around 4 years.
-
SBR: The hose made from SBR typically lasts 6 months to 1 year.
Signs of Damage to the Bent Heater Hose for the Carbureted Saipa Pride (Bent Heater Hose for Saipa Pride Carburetor)

Peeling or Layering: If the hose starts to peel or develop layers, it indicates poor quality.
Effects of a Faulty Bent Heater Hose for the Carbureted Saipa Pride (Bent Heater Hose for Saipa Pride Carburetor)
-
Coolant Leakage: A notable sign of failure is coolant leaking onto the floor of the vehicle, which could lead to damage to the wiring and other components.
