Heavy Duty Hose Couplers **limited time**
 
Well, I've been trying to track down more and more good deals to offer you guys and the up next is hose couplers. I have purchased a limited first order of these things just to see how much demand there is. After this batch I will determine whether to offer these full time or drop them. I have had problems with the home depot couplers recently trying to push 15psi :-X, so some of them are already accounted for. Here's the scoop:


http://www.purosil.com/images/Page_7-1_2.jpg

http://pic14.picturetrail.com/VOL564...5/48586859.jpg

-7020 Series Coolant Hose (2-ply)
Polyester reinforced construction.
-Resistant to electrochemical degradation.
-Temperature range: -65 to 350F.
-Meets and exceeds performance requirements of SAE J20RI plus physical and performance requirements of TMC RP 303B Class I and Class II.

Couplers will be 3" in length. This is the quantity I have in stock now:

2.25" =52
2.50" =10
2.75" ??? (wrong size shipped) :-\ =12

In order to keep this simple, I have these listed for $3 each. $5.75 priority shipping will be attached to orders of 1-10 couplers. I will not be selling clamps at this time. (That's a whole different product and you know I can only do one at a time) ;)

Let me know what you guys think. -Steve

Orders:
Robert95civ (5) 2.5"
Dr. Boost (4) 2.5"
Honda Joe (5) 2.5"
Tranceminister (8) 2.25"

Re:Heavy Duty Hose Couplers **limited time**
 
I'll take 3 of the 2.5".....maybe 4, I'll have to figure it out.

Forgot to mention, if at all possible I would like to take money orders as the first option of payment. I will take paypal, but with this first order I'm only testing the costs vs. profits on this, so paypal might ---- us all in the end. :-\

Re:Heavy Duty Hose Couplers **limited time**
 
One question Ive had keeping me from ordering couplers, you may be able to help with.

The size listed, does that apply to internal diameter, or outside?

In other words, will 2.25 be suitable for 2inch Jc Whitney mandrel bends, or will I need to get 2' couplers?

Depending on what the outcome is, i will more than likely be buying a few off of you!

Thanks

Aaron

Re:Heavy Duty Hose Couplers **limited time**
 
The size listed is the ID, so if you have a 2.5 pipe and a 2.5 coupler your good. I think the 2.25 will fit the 2.0 pipe functionally, but I will have to check it out. I origianlly ordered 2.0, 2.25, and 2.5, but they fucked my order up. :-\

Re:Heavy Duty Hose Couplers **limited time**
 
Steve you can put me down for 5 of the 2.5". Is your mailing addy posted somewhere on here...Nevermind, that was a stupid question...PM me with the addy and I'll send the MO out tomorrow. Robert

My real name IS stealthmode, but the government and my bank fail to recognize it. :P

How many are you gonna want? It takes me two weeks to get more shipments in, so I want to make sure I don't sell more than I have. ;)

Thanks buddy. If I do find a supplier for clamps I'd like to find the aircraft style, but those are some damn good prices on clamps. (Oil lines need clamps too) ;)

Re:Heavy Duty Hose Couplers **limited time**
 
Are you planning on getting some 2" in anytime soon, Or are you going to wait to see how this works?

If your getting them in soon, I can wait, or if not, and you dont think it will be a prob using 2.25 on 2" I will grab those off of ya!

Re:Heavy Duty Hose Couplers **limited time**
 
don't use 2.25 on 2 inch, these ARE NOT home depot pieces of ----, they will not flex enough. there is no ------- way.

No 2.0 was sent with this order. Once I make another order (when these are gone) there should be a two week weight for the new order. I can order them then. -Steve

Re:Heavy Duty Hose Couplers **limited time**
 
Money order sent. I rounded up to $18 so I expect speedy delivery. :-*

BTW, that would be for 4(four)2.5" couplers plus shipping.

I'm in but I need to take a count of how many I need. Jesus I might need to weld some of my charge pipes together, I've got way too many couplers in there. I'll get back to you :)

Welding is for pussies...just use Steve's new magic couplers and be happy :P

Dr.Boost 08-02-2004 07:09 PM

Re:Heavy Duty Hose Couplers **limited time**
 
That's what I'm talking about. I'm using about 23 couplers already and I need a few more. :o If my welding was a bit better I might attempt it, but no.....

Re:Heavy Duty Hose Couplers **limited time**
 
With me having 60 2.25" couplers and the popularity of using only 2.0 or 2.5 pipes, the 2.25 might go ebay. I'd hate to get stuck with that ----. So I guess I don't need anymore. ;)

List updated

Re:Heavy Duty Hose Couplers **limited time**
 
haha, Ok Stealth, I'm going to be the one to buy your surplus of couplers out... I'd like to purchase 8 of your bluest 2.25" couplers please ;) I'll send your money order out this week (probably tomorrow).

MikeJ-2009 08-04-2004 12:46 AM

Re:Heavy Duty Hose Couplers **limited time**
 
Basically, the first person to post in this thread and say I want __ amount and I'm sending a money order will be added to the list. Even though I haven't begun recieving payments, you will be listed priority wise by your post. Once the 2.5's are accounted for (in this thread by you saying you want __ of them) they are gone. Not sure when the next order will be made. This is just a "test run".

Thanks again. Another satisfactory transaction. :)

They do have a very strong "new" smell. I wouldn't call it a bad thing though. My house smells like that and brand new stainless oil lines. (much, much worse) :-X

They are blue on the outside and red on the inside.

Re:Heavy Duty Hose Couplers **limited time**
 
IF you had to guess, about how many are used on a normal piping set up? I will not be doing the piping hmt style however, someone with experience will be doing it for me.

MikeJ-2009 08-16-2004 11:57 PM

Re:Heavy Duty Hose Couplers **limited time**
 
Well, it depends on how much welding you'll be able to do. In general I would say about six.

blackcivic44 08-17-2004 12:04 AM

Re:Heavy Duty Hose Couplers **limited time**
 
7 of those 2.5" couplers are mine, paypal just sent! Thanks ;D

know of a good place to get a 2in to a 2.5in coupler at?

MikeJ-2009 08-24-2004 11:29 PM

Re:Heavy Duty Hose Couplers **limited time**
 
I know places like roadraceengineering.com have stuff like that, but it's like $25 or something. What I did is go to pep boys and go to their "exhaust" section. :D Get a 2" to 2.5" piece of metal that they have and weld or couple the 2.5 side to your charge piping. On the 2" side to 2" turbo outlet, you can either use a 2" coupler (which I don't have yet) or you go to the back of the counter and pick out a radiator hose that has a straight piece to it and is the right size. Cut that and use it for a coupler.
After all of this, you will still save $23 over buying that expensive ass coupler. Don't use any type of homedepot coupler anywhere near the manifold or turbo. It will melt. ;)
