TuoLauthon Silicone Reducer Hose 45-degree
Product description
A hose connection with different inlet and outlet sizes can make an intake or intercooler layout awkward. This 45-degree silicone reducer joins a 2-inch opening to a 3-inch opening, with a bend that may suit a tighter route.
It is listed for turbo, supercharger, intake, intercooler and coolant-pipe applications. The package includes two T-bolt clamps, so the connection hardware is supplied with the hose.
The important limitation is its intended use: it is not for transferring oil or fuel. Match the sizes and operating requirements to your setup before choosing it.
Technical details
The coupler is described as a four-ply silicone hose with a 5 mm wall and a 4-inch leg length (102 mm). Its inside diameter changes from 2 inches to 3 inches (51–76 mm), and the bend is 45 degrees. It is black and comes with two stainless-steel T-bolt hose clamps.
The listed working temperature is -76°F (-60°C) to +500°F (+260°C). The stated working pressure range is 0.3 MPa (43.5 PSI) to 0.9 MPa (130.5 PSI), with a listed bursting pressure of 245 PSI (2 MPa). These figures are product specifications, not a substitute for checking the requirements of the particular installation.
Getting the most from it
There are no separate fitment or installation requirements specified in the product details. The practical starting point is to compare both hose connection diameters, the available space for the 45-degree turn and the 4-inch leg length with your intended route. A reducer can address a size change, it does not establish that the rest of an engine or cooling system is compatible.
For example, when routing an intake connection from a 2-inch section toward a 3-inch section, the angled shape may help direct the join without using a straight coupler. If the route needs a different angle or length, this particular shape may not suit it.
Usage tips
Check the two mating hose sizes and the direction the bend needs to face before fitting. Position the clamps over the connection points and tighten them to secure the hose, the listing does not give a torque value, so one should not be assumed. Make sure the coupler is being used for a listed application and not for oil or fuel transfer.

Three specific questions
What comes in the package? One black silicone 45-degree reducer coupler and two stainless-steel T-bolt clamps.
Can it carry oil or fuel? No. The product details specifically say it is not for oil or fuel transfer.
What size does it connect? Its stated inside diameter transitions from 2 inches (51 mm) to 3 inches (76 mm), with a 4-inch (102 mm) leg length.
Before buying
This TuoLauthon reducer makes most sense when the needed change is specifically from 2-inch to 3-inch hose, the 45-degree bend suits the route, and the application falls within the listed temperature and pressure specifications. Compared with a straight coupler, its angled form is the defining choice, compared with a general-purpose transfer hose, its stated use is narrower. Buy it for a matching intake, turbo, supercharger, intercooler or coolant-pipe connection, but choose another hose if you need oil or fuel transfer, another size, or a different bend.
