What clamps do I need to secure this hose?

You'll need hose clamps sized for 2.25" inlet and 3.00" outlet ports. Stainless steel worm-gear clamps are standard—pick your preferred band width and screw style. Mounting hardware is not included.

Can I use this on both coolant and boost applications?

Yes. 3-ply silicone handles coolant loops and low-pressure intercooler piping equally well. For forced induction systems, verify your boost PSI rating against your hose spec sheet to confirm safe operating range.

Do I need to prep or clean the hose before connecting it?

Rinse the interior with distilled water if any manufacturing residue is visible, then let it air-dry. No special surface prep is needed—connect with clamps once dry.
