XRP ProPLUS Xtreme Race Hose, the Dry Sump Vacuum Hose, is a revolutionary new addition to the ProPLUS Race Hose product line that sets a higher level of fluid transfer technology in race hose systems today.

The engineering development of the ProPLUS Xtreme Race Hose has created a lightweight, smooth bore PTFE race hose product specifically designed to address the increasing vacuum collapse problems that are becoming more and more common in suction hoses used in dry sump racing engines today without having to resort to running an internal support coil that can impede flow.

Sharing the same basic design and manufactured by the patented process of XRP ProPLUS Race hose, the XRP ProPLUS Xtreme takes lightweight PTFE hose technology to a higher performance level for vacuum suction and tight bend applications.

HOW IT WORKS

This is accomplished by winding a high tensile, 316 stainless steel wire around and within the external helical convolutions of the ProPLUS tube.

The helical wound wire provides an increased radial support (hoop strength) to the tube wall and an axial reinforcement to the web section form in the unique external convolution of the tube wall.

The increased hoop strength of the wound wire support keeps the tube round in shape under vacuum conditions and resists collapse kinking when the hose is tightly bent or flexed.

HIGHER VACUUM CAPABILITY

ProPLUS Xtreme provides a higher vacuum and tighter bend radius capability in the lightweight braided versions of the XM – Black XtraTemp Monofilament and XK – Aramid braided products over that of the standard ProPLUS Race Hose in those braid covers.

This increased vacuum capability would otherwise only be capable in the heavier, full stainless steel braided version of the standard ProPLUS Race Hose.

NO INTERNAL CONVOLUTIONS
 NO FLOW INTERFERENCE

The helical wound wire performs much like an internal support coil, but rather on the outside of the tube, not the inside, so there is no interference to the fluid flow through the inside of the hose tube.

In addition to excelling in vacuum applications, ProPLUS Xtreme Race Hose is very suitable for the same pressure type of fluid transfer applications as the standard ProPLUS Race Hose.

XRP® ProPLUS™ Race Hose has been designed and sized to directly target fully convoluted PTFE hose products in weight and bend radius while allowing for much greater flow rates due to the smooth inside tube wall.

SMOOTH BORE

There are no convolutions on the inside where they can impede flow by causing turbulence and trapping contamination that can be very difficult to remove.

EASY CLEAN OUT

The smooth inside bore allows non-turbulent laminar flow capabilities and a hose assembly that can be cleaned out much easier than fully convoluted hoses.

ANTI-STATIC PTFE

A hose system utilizing a carbon impregnated anti-static PTFE inner tube that is manufactured using a patented process that creates a smooth interior wall surface and convolutions only on the outside of the tube wall where they belong for increased flexibility and vacuum resistance.

AWARD-WINNING! SEMA ends and XRP’s ProPlus Race Hose and NEW ProPlus Xtreme Race Hose gather in two SEMA Global Media awards for New Products!

The PLUS sizes allow even larger I.D. hose options between normal size ranges to choose from.
Actual hose I.D.’s are larger than indicated fractional dimensions above. (see technical chart below.)

A CHOICE OF BRAID OPTIONS:

  • XS- Stainless Steel (standard in ProPlus, special order in ProPlus Xtreme)
  • XM- Lightweight XtraTemp Monofilament (may be used inside fuel cells)
  • XK- Aramid Fiber 
  • XKS – Aramid Fiber with Black Silicone Cover

 

COMES IN 6 SIZES

XRP ProPLUS Xtreme Race Hose is available in six I.D. sizes in both the braid coverings of XM – XtraTemp Monofilament with a maximum continuous working temperature of 392º F (200º C) and XK – Aramid fiber, and soon, XKS with a thin Black Silicone covering over the Aramid.

A full stainless steel braid version is also available but most generally the Standard ProPLUS with full stainless steel braid will be suitable for those applications unless an even tighter bend radius capability is required.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

FLUID COMPATIBILITY

The anti-static PTFE tube is compatible with all automotive fluids and fuels including:

 

  • Racing Gasoline
  • Ethanol
  • Methanol
  • Nitromethane
  • Flex-Fuel blends

OPERATING TEMPERATURES

Hose operating temperature ranges from -65º F (-54º C) to +500º F (+260º C).

Please note that the maximum working pressures and vacuum capabilities are affected by upper end temperature ranges.

Please contact XRP, Inc. for consultation on specific applications over 400º F (204º C).

XRP® ProPLUS Race Hose™ is much more resistant to permeation of liquids or gases than other PTFE hose products, due to its highly compressed, non-porous PTFE matrix.

    A CHOICE OF BRAID OPTIONS:

  • XS- Stainless Steel (standard in ProPlus, special order in ProPlus Xtreme)
  • XM- Lightweight XtraTemp Monofilament (may be used inside fuel cells)
  • XK- Aramid Fiber 
  • XKS – Aramid Fiber with Black Silicone Cover

 

XS BRAIDS

The Maximum Operating Pressure listed in the table should be reduced by 1% for each 1º C above 160º C (1% for each 1.8º F above 320º F) up to a maximum of 260º C (500º F).

Both ProPLUS and ProPLUS Xtreme Race Hose with Stainless Steel braid may be used for dry sump vacuum applications.

XM AND XK BRAIDS

The Maximum Operating Pressure listed in the table should be reduced by 1% for each 1º C above 130º C (1% for each 1.8º F above 266º F) up to a maximum of 180º C (356º F).

Standard ProPLUS Race Hose in XM and XK braids should not be used on vacuum applications.
Use XRP ProPLUS Xtreme for these applications when lightweight braid is needed.
