Description
Material of the Pride Injector Engine Oil Vapor Hose (Raw Materials Used in Production)
The Pride injector oil vapor hose is made from NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber) due to its critical requirement to withstand high temperatures and pressure.
Service Life of the Pride Injector Oil Vapor Hose
When produced using standard-grade NBR material, the expected service life of this rubber hose is approximately 3 years.
Signs of Wear in the Pride Injector Oil Vapor Hose
Key indicators of hose failure include:
-
Cracking on the outer surface:
Visible cracks suggest the hose has become brittle. The deeper and more numerous the cracks, the more deteriorated the hose is. -
Bulging or swelling:
Uneven surface bulges are a clear sign of internal damage and weakening. -
Flaking or delamination (a.k.a. “two-layering”):
This indicates that the rubber hose is of low quality or has significantly aged and deteriorated.
In all cases, timely replacement of the damaged hose is strongly advised to prevent further engine damage.
Effects of a Damaged Oil Vapor Hose in Pride Injector
The most critical result of hose failure is oil leakage, which can cause:
-
Valve wear (valve clearance increase)
-
Cylinder damage
-
Overall engine failure
How to Differentiate Between a Good and Bad Pride Injector Oil Vapor Hose
-
Surface Quality:
A high-quality hose made from proper material generally has a smooth and glossy surface. -
No blemishes or flaking:
A quality hose is free from surface pitting and does not exhibit two-layer separation. -
Smell Test:
If time or lighting conditions prevent a detailed inspection, the hose can be smelled.
Well-made rubber hoses (especially those with NBR) often have a sweet rubbery odor, while inferior ones do not.
