SAAS Silicone Heater Core Bypass Loop Crossover LS Engine | SSHH1619LS

SAAS Silicone Heater Core Bypass Loop Crossover LS Engine (part number SSHH1619LS) is available from JDM Mods NQ. Review the specifications and fitting notes below to confirm suitability for your setup.

SSHH1619LS Silicone Heater Core Bypass Loop Crossover LS Engine

The SAAS LS heater bypass is a low profile loop manufactured from our multi ply reinforced silicone hose. The Heater Bypass Loop will install on any LS family engine (LS1, LT1, LQ9, etc) and comes designed with 16mm (5/8") and 19mm (3/4") supply and return ports. Using a loop instead of blocking off the ports maintains engine coolant flow and reduces the risks of air pockets forming that can lead to overheating.

The LS family of engines are a popular customisation and if you wish to isolate the heater, the SAAS SSH1619LS is the perfect hose to use.

Fitting Notes:

By nature, silicone coolant hoses have a higher degree of permeability than conventional EPDM rubber. We aim to mitigate this by deploying a flurosilicone liner but regular checks of your cooling system are always advised. Note also that some modern longlife coolants can use aggressive chemicals, particularly the use of 2-ethylhexanoic acid which can be abbreviated as 2-EHA. SAAS recommends the use of Inorganic Acid Technology (IAT) - often green or yellow in colour - or modern Hybrid OAT (HOAT/Si-HOAT) coolants. Look for coolants that do not use 2-EHA.

Features

• Suits 16mm (5/8") and 19mm (3/4") ID supply and return ports
• Creates a looped circuit maintaining proper coolant system flow
• CAD designed using 3D scanning technology
• Flurosilicone lined to prevent evaporation and provide chemical resistance
• Low profile whilst providing mandrel like radius
• Prevent airlocks causing engine overheating problem instead of using block offs
• High Performance silicone designed to withstand high operating temperatures (Max. 175C/350F) caused by prolonged exposure to under-hood and coolant heat.
