Q. Why should I buy silicone hoses?
Silicone hoses operate at much higher pressures and temperatures than other rubbers. For the best performance and looks it has to be silicone everytime.

Q. What is the best way to clean my hoses?
For best results when cleaning silicone hose use hot soapy water and a lint free cloth.

Q. What sort of hose clips do you recommend I use?
Always use good quality hose clamps with rolled or bevelled edges and a smooth liner. Never use clamps that have the drive mechanism perforating the inside of the clip as this will damage the hose.

Q. How do I cut my hose down if it’s too long?
To cut silicone hose use a new 'snap Off' type blade. Tighten a jubilee clip around the hose where you need to cut it and use the edge of the clip as a guide for the knife blade. When you get to the end slip off the clip and slice through the remainder with the hose resting firmly on a flat surface.
