Flexible Hose
Cummins®

A flexible hose, also known as a flex hose or a rubber hose, is a component used in a truck's engine system to transfer fluids such as oil or coolant between different parts of the engine. The flexible design allows the hose to bend and twist without breaking, making it ideal for use in areas where rigid piping would be impractical. It consists of an inner tube made from synthetic rubber or other materials that can withstand high temperatures and pressure, surrounded by layers of reinforcing material such as wire mesh or braided fibers. The outer layer is typically made from synthetic rubber or plastic to protect against abrasion and environmental factors. The flexible hose may be connected to other components using clamps or fittings, depending on the specific application. Overall, the flexibility of this component makes it an essential part of any truck's engine system.
