Material of the Short Heater Hose for the Samand TU5 (Heater Hose Entry for Samand TU5)
This hose is produced in two types of materials: EPDM (high-quality) and SBR (standard). The yarn used in the construction is polyester.
The main benefit of this yarn is its ability to prevent water leakage, reduce water loss, and provide antifreeze properties to the hose.
