Shields Hose 16-221-8X6 90° EPDM Rubber Hump Hose Reducer 8" to 6"

The Shields Hose 16-221-8X6 is a premium 90-degree EPDM rubber hump hose designed for heavy-duty marine and industrial applications. This reducer hose transitions from 8 inches down to 6 inches, making it ideal for connecting exhaust components, wet exhaust systems, and engine cooling systems where angled connections and size reduction are required.

Key Features:

• Constructed from 100% high-temperature EPDM rubber for superior durability and chemical resistance
• Maximum operating temperature of 250°F (121°C) for demanding engine compartment environments
• 90-degree bend configuration provides flexible routing in tight spaces
• Hump design allows for thermal expansion and vibration absorption
• Reducer design transitions from 8-inch to 6-inch diameter
• Resists oil, fuel, coolant, and saltwater exposure
• Reinforced construction ensures long service life in marine applications

This hose is commonly used in wet exhaust systems, generator exhaust connections, and other marine engine applications where flexibility, heat resistance, and size adaptation are critical. The EPDM rubber compound provides excellent resistance to aging, ozone, and weathering, making it ideal for harsh marine environments.
