2.00-Inch Inside Diameter

The TS-HE90200-BK features a nominal 2-inch inside diameter, equivalent to 50.8mm.

Both ends of the elbow have the same nominal inside diameter, allowing it to connect two sections of compatible 2-inch outside-diameter piping.

This makes it suitable for custom turbocharger piping, intercooler connections, and intake systems requiring a consistent pipe diameter.

Important: Always measure the outside diameter of the existing piping before ordering.

90-Degree Elbow Design

The 90-degree bend allows intake or charge piping to change direction without requiring a separate welded aluminum or stainless steel elbow.

This is particularly useful in engine compartments where piping must route around the radiator, intercooler, engine accessories, or other components.

The flexible silicone construction also helps accommodate minor vibration and movement between connected piping sections.

102mm Leg Length

Turbosmart's published technical catalog specifies a 102mm leg dimension for the TS-HE90200-BK.

This provides approximately 4 inches of length for installation on compatible piping.

The elbow may be trimmed when appropriate, provided sufficient straight material remains for proper pipe engagement and clamp placement.

Before modifying the hose, verify the required installation dimensions.

Four-Ply Reinforced Silicone Construction

The TS-HE90200-BK features four-ply reinforced silicone construction.

The multiple reinforcement layers help provide structural strength and dimensional stability under pressure.

This is particularly beneficial in turbocharger systems where charge piping connections experience repeated pressure fluctuations and elevated temperatures.

The reinforced construction also helps resist deformation compared with many conventional unreinforced rubber connectors.

Wall Thickness

Turbosmart's published technical catalog identifies the TS-HE90200-BK with a 4.5mm wall thickness.

The manufacturer's current product description references a general 5mm wall specification for its silicone hose range.

The published dimensional specification for this exact part number is 4.5mm.

This reinforced wall construction provides durability while retaining the flexibility required for installation.

220 PSI Pressure Rating

Turbosmart rates this silicone elbow for pressures up to 220 PSI.

This rating describes the manufacturer's specified hose capability and does not guarantee that a complete piping connection will safely withstand that pressure.

Actual connection performance depends on:

• Pipe diameter and surface condition.

• Proper pipe-end retaining beads.

• Clamp selection and installation.

• Operating temperature.

• Piping alignment.

• Hose condition.

For turbocharger charge piping, properly sized clamps and adequate pipe-end retention are essential.

High-Temperature Silicone Material

The TS-HE90200-BK is designed for operating temperatures between approximately -50°C and 170°C.

Its reinforced silicone construction provides resistance to the elevated temperatures commonly encountered in performance engine bays.

This makes it suitable for many intake and intercooler piping applications.

However, it should not be installed in direct contact with exhaust manifolds, turbine housings, or other components exceeding its rated temperature range.

Silicone Elbow vs. Straight Coupler

A straight silicone coupler connects two sections of piping in a straight line.

A silicone elbow changes the direction of airflow between connected piping sections.

The TS-HE90200-BK provides a 90-degree bend while maintaining a consistent 2-inch inside diameter.

For applications requiring a straight connection or a different bend angle, select the appropriate silicone coupler instead.

Black Silicone Finish

The black finish provides a clean, factory-inspired appearance that complements a wide range of performance engine bay configurations.

It pairs well with:

• Black aluminum intercooler piping.

• Polished aluminum charge piping.

• Stainless steel turbocharger piping.

• Aftermarket intercoolers.

• Custom air intake systems.

• Performance turbocharger installations.

Silicone vs. Conventional Rubber Hoses

Reinforced silicone hoses offer several advantages over many conventional rubber connectors in demanding air piping applications.

These include:

• Improved resistance to elevated temperatures.

• Greater resistance to hardening and cracking.

• Reinforced construction for pressurized systems.

• Flexible installation characteristics.

• Long-lasting performance when properly installed.

Actual durability depends on operating conditions and installation quality.

Recommended Hose Clamps

The TS-HE90200-BK should be secured using properly sized hose clamps appropriate for the application.

For turbocharger charge piping, high-quality T-bolt clamps are commonly used.

Clamp selection must account for the hose's outside diameter, including its reinforced wall thickness.

Important: Hose clamps are not included and must be purchased separately.

Oil and Chemical Compatibility

Standard silicone elbows are primarily intended for air and charge piping applications.

They are not designed for continuous exposure to fuel, engine oil, or other petroleum-based liquids unless specifically approved for that use.

Applications involving significant oil contamination may require a specially lined hose.

Verify material compatibility before using this elbow outside its intended air piping application.
