Description
The engine air line elbow hose is a specialized hose designed in a bent or angled shape to make connections between engine components easier in aircraft or automotive applications. The engine air lines are the engine's intake and exhaust systems. Size and diameter should be selected to match the specific engine application and connection specifications. The hose material and construction should resist heat and maintain structural integrity without deforming or deteriorating.
Features
- Easy to install and route around obstacles or in tight spaces.
- Easy to connect to air compressors and pneumatic tools.
- Withstands 300 kPa air pressure and 200°C temperature.
- Protects the hose from abrasion, environmental factors and extreme temperatures.
Applications
Engine air line elbow hoses are widely used in aircraft and automotive engines. The elbow hose has the proper bend angle and dimensions to ensure correct fit and airflow within the intake system. Engines have a breather system to manage crankcase pressure and prevent the buildup of harmful gases. Elbow hoses are used to connect the crankcase breather valve to the intake manifold, allowing gases and vapors to circulate for proper ventilation and emissions control, and to connect the air pump or diverter valve to the exhaust manifold or catalytic converter, allowing fresh air to be injected into the exhaust system so the catalytic converter can work efficiently.

| Hose Warning | Improper selections of hose and coupling combinations will void warranties and may result in serious personal injury or death, property damage, or component and machine system failure. Cat® hose assembly products are designed and tested as a system to achieve a reliable connection, thus maximizing hydraulic system safety and dependability. It is also recommended that appropriate and properly maintained Caterpillar tooling is used to ensure hoses are crimped to specifications. Use of Caterpillar hose with other manufacturer's couplings or the use of Caterpillar couplings with other manufacturer's hose may result in the production of unreliable, unsafe or under-performing hose assemblies. It is not recommended or authorized by Caterpillar. For additional information see SAE J1273 section 6.3 and ISO 17165-2 section 6.3. |
