Cooling water hoses

Rubber hoses for the cooling system in LPG systems

Cooling system rubber hoses, also known as 'water' hoses or FKD hoses, are used to connect the regulator to the cooling system in the car. Coolant has a higher temperature than liquefied LPG. When it flows through the LPG regulator, the gas is heated and expands into a vapour phase. The LPG in vapour form is fed to the injectors.

Functions of rubber hoses for the cooling system in LPG/CNG systems

Coolant flow: The hoses enable the transport of coolant from the radiator to the reducer.

Flexibility: Rubber hoses are flexible, allowing for easy laying and installation in the car.

Temperature resistance: The hoses are made of materials that are resistant to the temperature of the coolant.

Assembly of LPG rubber hoses for the cooling system

The installation of LPG/CNG cooling system rubber hoses should be carried out by a qualified gas fitter or car mechanic. The assembly includes:

Selection of suitable hoses: The hoses must be matched to the diameter and pressure prevailing in the cooling system. The most popular sizes of water hoses in the ZAMEL Autogas Biała Podlaska offer include FKD fi 15 and fi 16 hoses (FKD 15 mm or 16 mm internal diameter).

Hose fitting to radiator and reducer: The hoses are attached to the radiator and reducer with clamps or other fasteners.

Leak check: After installation, check the cooling system for leaks.

Important remarks

Use rubber hoses from reputable manufacturers to ensure the safety and durability of the installation.

The installation of rubber hoses for the cooling system should be carried out in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

Regularly check the condition of rubber hoses for damage and leaks.

Do not use rubber hoses for the cooling system that are damaged or show signs of wear.
