Description
Description
The Ether Starting Aid Tube is designed to facilitate cold starts in low-temperature environments. It connects the ether injection system to the engine intake, allowing controlled delivery of ether vapor into the combustion chamber. Designed with durable materials and fittings, these tubes ensure reliable ignition by overcoming cold-start challenges. Designed to prevent vapor leakage, they maintain efficient engine performance even in harsh conditions.
Attributes: • Designed to prevent backflow and vapor leakage. • Resistant to corrosion and degradation from ether exposure. • Durable design to withstand high-pressure ether injection. • Designed with fittings for secure and leak-proof connections.
Applications: The Ether Starting Aid Tube delivers ether vapor directly into the combustion chamber, helping overcome cold-start challenges, reducing engine wear, and minimizing downtime.
Improper selections of hose and coupling combinations will void warranties and may result in serious personal injury or death, property damage, or component and machine system failure. Cat® hose assembly products are designed and tested as a system to achieve a reliable connection, thus maximizing hydraulic system safety and dependability. It is also recommended that appropriate and properly maintained Caterpillar tooling is used to ensure hoses are crimped to specifications. Use of Caterpillar hose with other manufacturer’s couplings or the use of Caterpillar couplings with other manufacturer’s hose may result in the production of unreliable, unsafe or under-performing hose assemblies. It is not recommended or authorized by Caterpillar. For additional information see SAE J1273 section 6.3 and ISO 17165-2 section 6.3.
