There are many hoses on the market, all varying in price and quality. Viper Performance is known in the industry for making the best possible quality hoses. This is due to our choice of materials; build specification and the skills of our hose builders.

Most of our silicone hoses have been pressure tested when designed. This is done to withstand maximum pressures allowed by the material. You can see the technical data on our website. All our hoses are built to SAE J20 R1 specification.

The Viper logo stands for quality and supplies many industries who trust the brand. Our hoses are built using the best raw materials available. All of our hoses have an inner liner for added protection, with 3 to 6 ply’s of reinforcement, depending on the hose diameter. When needed, our hoses can be further reinforced with a wire spiral. All branches and take offs are very well bonded onto the body, and built to last. We always use machine metal inserts and specialist silicone adhesives if required. These are the reasons that F1 teams, the military, marine and rail industry trust Viper Performance.

Here at Viper Performance, we have a range of end fittings, specifically designed for hardline tubing. These are ideal for racing fuel systems and industrial applications, and also where the fittings need to have an AN style thread. Our hardline tube end fittings are beautifully made and are specifically designed to match our aluminium hardline tubes. These fittings will not work with any other type of hose.

Compared to the crimp on style fittings, these fittings do not require any specialist tools and can easily be done with just a nylon vice jaw and aluminium spanners, which are all available from Viper Performance. Most importantly, the quality of the thread is flawless machine Billet 6063 aluminium and hard anodised. The fittings are smooth inside for good fuel flow and fluid transfer. Inside the fitting is a brass olive insert which slides over the hardline.

Currently, we offer a range of sizes such as AN- 6, AN-8 and AN-10. Our fittings are able in the traditional red/blue colours as well as beautiful polished piano black finish

For a demonstration on how to fit these fittings, simply watch the video below;

Here at Viper Performance we are able create custom silicone hoses. There are two methods for doing this, producing new tooling or modifying existing tool.

Custom Multiform hoses using new tooling

In order to produce a new hose shape it is essential to have forming tools, this is what moulds the silicone sheets into a hose. We then make a prototype silicone hose for your approval.

In order to produce a hose we will need to see 3d drawing or an original rubber hose. We cannot quote from a sketch, verbal description or photograph.

Modifying existing tool stock

Sometimes it is possible to modify existing tooling without the need to produce a new tool. In this case we can send an existing tool to our tool maker to adapt. This can save you money when compared to creating a new mandrel bend.

Although silicone hoses are most commonly thought of for automotive and race industries Viper Performance create products for a wide array of different industries. If you have an engine you will need a hose!

Our latest video showcases some of the industries that we supply and the various different types of silicone hoses within these market places.

For example hoses for the rail industry often require specialist silicone grades for the which use flame and fire retardant low toxicity silicone. Hoses for the marine industry tend to need to be resistant to oily and wet exhaust systems. Wind turbines sometimes require hoses to have an electrical conductivity and food industries requires clear silicone which is FDA approved.

When you look under the bonnet of a car it often reveals an array of hoses and pipes. Each of these has a specific job and although they may look similar except for diameters each hose has a different purpose and as such may be produced from a different material to the one sitting next to it. As a result hoses are not necessarily interchangeable and you need to ensure you are selecting the right product for the job.

Viper Performance have a range of reinforcements available for silicone hoses such as polyester, nomex and glass reinforced as well as oil and fuel resistant grades. The choice of material will be based on the area of the engine it will be used in.

Cooling System Hoses 
At the heart of the cooling system is the water pump and radiator. The water pump circulates the coolant through the engine, and the radiator dissipates the excess heat. The hoses that attach the two components are usually pre-formed or flexible silicone hoses. All of Viper Performances hoses use a high quality polyester reinforcement which is specially designed for pressure, strength, flexibility and increases burst pressure. Polyester reinforcements are perfect for any application where temperatures will not exceed 170c.

Fuel Hoses
Fuel hoses carry the fuel from the fuel tank to the carburetor or fuel injectors to power the engine. If you are choosing hoses for this purpose you need to be sure to specify Fluro hoses. The Fluro liner will stop oil droplets permeating through the wool and destroying the hose. When selecting a fuel hose make sure you choose a supplier that uses 100% Fluro material and at least a 1mm thick liner.

We also have a range of braided hoses available which are ideal as fuel hoses or brake lines.

Turbo Hoses
When you require higher temperature rating you will require Nomex hoses. Our Nomex reinforced hoses will withstand high temperatures up to 220°C. This makes them ideal for Turbo applications, hot air, steam, water or environments where other hoses fail.

We also supply Turbo bellows with humps and stainless steel rings and an iron oxide inner liner for improved heat stability.

Industrial hoses
A glass reinforcement is also available, this is a very specialist hose for more industrial hose applications.
