What material is used for this radiator hose, and what is its working temperature range?
This hose is made of high-quality EPDM rubber with knitted reinforcement and a fabric-textured cover (Formula CCEP 7JHG). It offers excellent heat, ozone, and coolant resistance. The operating temperature ranges from -35°C to +125°C, making it ideal for automotive engine cooling systems.
What is your Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for this reducing elbow hose?
Our standard MOQ is 100 pieces. For trial orders or sample evaluation, smaller quantities can be negotiated depending on mold availability and production schedules.
Can you customize the hose according to our technical drawings or OEM samples?
Yes, we provide full OEM/ODM custom services. We can manufacture hoses based on your 2D/3D CAD drawings (e.g., specific angles, diameters, wall thicknesses) or physical samples. We have in-house tooling capabilities using 304 stainless steel molds to ensure precise dimensions.
Do you offer samples before placing a bulk order?
Yes, samples are available for quality verification. If a new mold is required (such as custom 304 stainless steel tooling), a mold fee will apply, which can be partially or fully refunded once your mass production order reaches a specified quantity.
What quality standards does this cooling hose comply with, and what tests are performed?
The product complies with ASM689E automotive standards. Every batch undergoes strict quality control, including burst pressure testing (≥0.5 MPa), heat aging resistance (125°C/70h), water resistance (100°C/70h), and expansion rate inspection.
What is the typical lead time for sample and mass production?
For existing tooling, sample lead time is 5-7 days. For custom tooling, mold fabrication and initial samples take about 15-20 days. Mass production usually takes 20-30 days after sample approval and deposit receipt, depending on order quantity.
How is the product packaged, and can you print our logo/part numbers on the hose?
Yes, we offer custom inkjet or laser printing for OEM part numbers, batch codes, and company logos. Standard packaging includes neutral PE inner bags and durable export cartons on wooden pallets, or customized packaging upon request.
