Polished Stainless Steel Flexible Radiator Hose Kit - 12 Inches

• Available in 12", 24", 36" Flexible Stainless Steel Hose – Supports custom cooling system routing

• 1 5/8" OD Hose Compatibility – Helps verify fit with adapters and hose ends

• Polished Appearance – Adds a cleaner engine bay look

• Universal Cut-to-Fit Design – Ideal for custom radiator and heater hose layouts

This Polished Stainless Steel Flexible Radiator Hose Kit - 12 Inches is built for custom radiator or heater hose routing where flexible stainless steel construction, clean appearance, and cut-to-fit installation are needed. It gives builders a durable alternative to molded rubber hose in custom cooling system layouts.

Flexible Stainless Steel Construction
The stainless steel hose design bends and routes through custom engine bays while resisting corrosion and heat exposure. The listed Available in 12", 24", 36" length helps match the hose kit to the planned installation path.

Custom Cooling System Routing
This hose kit supports custom radiator or heater hose layouts where standard molded hoses do not provide the needed length or shape. The listed 1 5/8" OD diameter helps verify compatibility with the required hose ends, reducers, or adapters.

Finished Engine Bay Appearance
The polished components help create a clean, coordinated look around the radiator, water neck, heater hose routing, or accessory area.

Universal Installation
The universal design is intended for custom cooling systems and may require trimming, routing, and test fitting during installation.

Why are there two different hose diameters listed — 1 5/8" hose OD but three adapter sizes?
The hose itself has a 1⅝" outside diameter, while the kit includes 1¼", 1½", and 1⅝" adapters. These adapters allow the hose assembly to connect to different-size radiator necks, water pump outlets, or other cooling-system connections.

Does this kit include end caps?
The current listing does not clearly specify whether end caps are included. Confirm with TSP before ordering, especially since other TSP hose kits are specifically identified as being sold without end caps.

Does this kit include hose clamps and clamp covers?
Yes — hose clamps and polished aluminum clamp covers are included, providing a clean finished appearance over the exposed clamp hardware.

What length should I choose?
Choose based on your required routing distance. The polished kit is available in 12", 24", and 36" lengths. Shorter versions work well for compact routing, while longer versions provide more material for custom or extended runs.

Can I cut this hose to a custom length?
Yes — this hose is designed for cut-to-fit custom routing. Measure your routing path before cutting and leave enough material at each end for proper adapter engagement and clamping.

Will the polished finish match other polished parts in my engine bay?
The polished hose components and aluminum clamp covers are designed to coordinate with other polished-finish engine-bay components, although the exact sheen may vary between different materials and manufacturers.

Is this kit for radiator hose routing only, or can it be used for heater hose too?
Fitment depends primarily on connection diameter and routing requirements. Because the supplied adapters are relatively large at 1¼", 1½", and 1⅝", verify your heater-system connection sizes before assuming compatibility with a typical smaller-diameter heater hose circuit.

Does this kit fit a specific vehicle or engine?
No — this is a universal cut-to-fit hose kit. Compatibility depends on your connection diameters, required hose length, and available routing space rather than a specific vehicle, engine, or model year.
