What clamps do I need for this hose?

Standard hose clamps sized for 3.50" diameter work here. Spring clamps, worm drive, or band clamps all fit — choose based on your application pressure and space constraints. No clamps are included, so grab the right size for your build.

Can I use this for fuel lines?

This is silicone, not fuel-grade material. Stick to coolant, vacuum, and custom intake plumbing. For fuel systems, use fuel-rated hose to avoid swelling or degradation.

Does this hose need prep before installation?

No prep needed. Cut to length with a utility knife if you need a shorter run. Dry fit first to confirm routing, then install clamps hand-tight, then torque down to secure. Clean the hose ends if they sit on the shelf — a quick wipe keeps debris out of your system.
