Vibrant 2750 is a 45 degree elbow with a 2.00 in I.D. and 5.00 in legs, built from four plies of silicone with aramid reinforcement between each layer. The wall measures about 0.180 in, and the tight 2.00 in centerline radius puts the turn close to the joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere a 2 in 45 gets used\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo inch plumbing turns up on small turbo inlet and charge pipes, heater and radiator hose reroutes on engine swaps, and intake ducting where a factory rubber elbow has cracked with age. Vibrant rates its 45 degree elbows from -75°F to 392°F and sells them in black, which keeps a busy engine bay looking tidy next to polished or powder-coated tubing. Because silicone stays flexible, the elbow also absorbs engine movement that would eventually crack a rigid joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMeasuring and trimming\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2.00 in I.D. is meant to slip over tube with a 2.00 in O.D., so measure the outside of the pipe or fitting rather than the hose you are replacing. Each 5.00 in leg can be trimmed with a sharp blade to shorten the run, as long as enough length remains for a clamp to sit fully on the tube. T-bolt or constant-tension clamps grip silicone more evenly than worm-drive clamps, which can bite into the outer ply.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs \"2750\/45\" this part?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. 2750 is Vibrant's part number and 45 is the bend angle, so a search for 2750\/45 points to this 45 degree elbow with a 2.00 in bore. The next size up in the same series, 2751, has a 2.25 in I.D.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it carry oil or fuel?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Vibrant limits its silicone elbows to air, water and coolant service. Crankcase vent lines and fuel plumbing need a hose rated for oil and fuel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it hold up on a boosted intake?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour-ply, aramid-reinforced elbows like this are widely used on intercooler piping, and the 0.180 in wall resists collapse and ballooning. Clamping over bead-rolled tube ends is what keeps the joint together under boost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment: Universal.
