The kit includes a 48-inch stainless flex hose with a 1.2\" inner diameter, multiple rubber reducers\/adapters, end caps and clamps so you can tailor the connection to common radiator neck sizes without custom fabrication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this flexible stainless hose replace brittle rubber lines?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe braided stainless construction resists cracking, rotting and heat degradation that shortens rubber hose life.

The EZPROIT 48\" stainless steel flexible radiator hose kit is aimed at car and truck enthusiasts, mechanics, and DIYers who need a robust, adjustable coolant line for engine swaps, custom plumbing or replacing failing rubber hoses. It’s particularly well suited for projects where routing needs nonstandard bends or where longevity and resistance to heat and aging are priorities. Verify hose inner-diameter and neck sizes before trimming, and always perform a pressure or road test after installation to confirm a secure, leak-free system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can I cut the EZPROIT 48\" hose to fit my vehicle?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes — trim the stainless flex hose to length, then install the appropriate rubber reducer and clamp for a secure fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Which radiator neck sizes does this kit support?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: The kit includes reducers for 1-1\/4\", 1-1\/2\" and 1-5\/8\" necks to accommodate common radiator and engine connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"EZPROIT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48083889193118,"sku":"B0CRKX996N","price":84.48,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/2041\/9486\/files\/ezproit-front-packaging-assembly.jpg?v=1785838906","url":"https:\/\/northtrailauto.ca\/products\/ezproit-48-stainless-steel-flexible-radiator-hose-kit-1-2-i-d-universal-adapters-for-1-1-4-1-1-2-1-5-8-clamps-caps","provider":"North Trail Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
