Hoses and pipes facilitate the transfer of fluids critical to vehicle operation, including coolant, fuel, oil, vacuum, and brake fluid. These components are implemented throughout engine, drivetrain, chassis, and fuel systems, connecting components like pumps, reservoirs, and actuators. Construction typically utilizes reinforced elastomers – EPDM, nitrile, or fluoropolymers – for fluid resistance and pressure containment. Reinforcement layers, such as textile braiding or wire spiraling, provide burst strength and prevent collapse. Specialized variants include convoluted hoses for tight bends and quick-disconnect fittings for ease of service.
