Silicone tube support

The small detail that makes a difference in the fuel circuit

The silicone tube support (ref. ANS201000102) is a plastic accessory designed to securely hold the silicone tubes that form the fuel circuit in gas-powered radio control models. A poorly secured tube can vibrate, bend, or shift during operation, directly affecting engine performance.

Function and performance

This clip acts as a structural support for the silicone tube, keeping it in the correct position and preventing the model's movement from causing kinks or interference with other components. A constant and unobstructed fuel flow is key for the engine to respond reliably at any RPM.

Installation and preparation

Installation is straightforward and does not require special tools. Simply position the clip at the desired point on the chassis or body and thread the silicone tube through it. It is recommended to periodically check the condition of the support to ensure it maintains the proper tension and does not show deformation from engine heat.

Considerations

• Check the compatibility of the support's diameter with the silicone tube of your model before installation.
• Avoid placing the clip in areas exposed to high temperatures for extended periods, as the plastic may fatigue over time.
• A well-routed tube, with supports evenly distributed, helps reduce the risk of leaks and obstructions.

Frequently asked questions

What is this support used for exactly?

It is used to secure the silicone tube of the fuel circuit in gas-powered radio control models, preventing the tube from shifting, bending, or vibrating during use.

Is it compatible with any silicone tube?

It is necessary to check the inner diameter of the support and compare it with the outer diameter of the silicone tube used in your model. The provided information does not specify a specific measurement, so we recommend consulting us if you have any doubts.

How many supports do I need for my model?

It depends on the length of the tube and the chassis layout. Generally, it is recommended to place a support each time the tube changes direction or runs a long distance without a securing point, to ensure the stability of the assembly.

Can the support be reused after disassembly?

In most cases, yes, as long as the plastic has not suffered deformation or breakage. Nevertheless, given its low cost, it is good practice to replace it if it shows any signs of fatigue.

The ANS201000102 silicone tube support is a plastic clip designed to secure fuel tubing in gas-powered radio control models. It ensures a consistent fuel flow by keeping the silicone tube properly routed and free from kinks or vibrations. An essential maintenance accessory for RC car and RC buggy enthusiasts looking to keep their fuel system reliable and well-organised.
