What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for this EPDM rubber hose?
Our standard MOQ is 100 pieces. For initial trial orders or sample evaluations to test fitment and quality, smaller quantities can be negotiated. Please contact our sales team with your project details.
Can you customize rubber hoses according to our drawings or samples?
Yes, we specialize in OEM & ODM customization. We can manufacture pre-formed molded rubber hoses, curved elbow pipes, and coolant hoses exactly according to your 2D/3D drawings, OEM part numbers, or physical samples. Custom molds and tooling are available in-house.
What material and reinforcement are used in this hose?
This hose is made of premium EPDM rubber reinforced with high-strength knitted aramid (Kevlar) yarn. It features an operating temperature range of -40°C to +120°C, working pressure around 0.3 MPa, and burst pressure ≥ 1.25 MPa. It delivers outstanding resistance to heat, aging, ozone, and coolants.
Do you provide samples before placing a bulk order?
Yes, standard stock samples can be provided for quality and dimension verification. The sample is usually free of charge, with the express shipping cost covered by the buyer. For custom-molded samples requiring new tooling, a prototype mold fee will apply.
What is your typical production lead time?
For standard orders (100-500 pieces), lead time is approximately 10-15 business days after order confirmation. For custom products requiring new mold development, tooling takes about 10-14 days, followed by 15 days for mass production.
How do you ensure product quality?
We implement strict quality control at every stage: raw material compound testing, hardness & tensile checks, working and burst pressure testing, and 100% visual inspection to guarantee smooth surfaces without air bubbles, cracks, or surface defects.
What applications is this molded EPDM hose suitable for?
This hose is designed for plate heat exchangers, electric heating systems, automotive radiators, EV battery thermal management, and industrial fluid transfer systems that require reliable coolant and hot water circulation.
What payment and trade terms do you accept?
We accept Alibaba Trade Assurance, T/T, L/C, Western Union, and PayPal. Available trade terms include FOB, CFR, CIF, EXW, and DDP based on your shipping preferences.
