Ours is Automotive grade Black Nylon resistant to automotive under
hood environment of heat & oils & made in USA and Not brittle.
On originals the tiny vacuum port is easily broken off accidentally -
but not on our T pipe.
NOT Taiwan, not china
NOT a hydrocarbon soluble plastic import replacement !
USE: on vacuum, climate control hoses.
INSTALL: his T-pipe is inserted in the Yellow vacuum supply
hose that runs horizontally acrosee the engine compartment firewall. and
the spaghetti size climate control hose attaches to the tiny nipple of
the bottom of the T-pipe. The exact place to hose to cut, depends upon
the model year. However, the AIM (Assembly Instruction Manuals) have
this information.
USA MANUFACTURER: on
a recent reorder we were informed prices nearly doubled, minimum order
doubled & lead time was 7 weeks if - if the US government or Dept of
Defense was ordering & they took priority.
FACT: This is
not another cheap generic chinese plastic T-pipe. This is a special
grade of automotive plastic that is resistant to the environmental
extremes of temperature as well as oily hydrocarbon atmospheres. You
will be pleasantly surprised how strong this part is, particularly if
you broke one of those replacements from AZune, CQuoeust or FLAPS or zyp
the gyp.
