Chillout Insulated Driver Cooling Hoses

Chillout insulated driver-cooling hoses connect a compatible liquid-cooled garment to its cooling unit. Choose the listed 6 ft or 10 ft length to suit the distance between the driver and cooler, allowing enough movement without leaving loose hose near controls or the driver’s exit path.

Insulation and protective covering

The hose assembly has double insulation and a fabric outer shield. The covering helps protect the internal tubing, while insulation helps limit heat pickup between the cooler and garment. The hose carries coolant; it does not generate cooling by itself.

Lengths and included components

• Choice of 6 ft or 10 ft insulated Y coolant hose
• Four male connectors
• One female dual-prong connector
• Additional heat-shrink wrap for finishing a customised length

These are alternative hose lengths, not two hoses supplied together. The existing specification describes ¼-inch fittings. Confirm the mating connector style and dimensions on both your cooler and garment before ordering; fitting size alone does not establish compatibility.

Routing and length selection

Measure the actual route through the cockpit, including the connection points and driver movement, rather than only the straight-line distance. Avoid tight bends, pinching, sharp edges and hot components. Secure the assembly so it cannot interfere with pedals, controls, harnesses or rapid exit.

The existing product guidance allows shortening to suit the installation and supplies extra heat shrink for a finished end. Follow manufacturer instructions for cutting, reconnecting and leak-testing before use. The listing also describes hose extension and Y-connector arrangements; confirm the required additional parts and flow implications with us before extending a system.

Match the hose to your installation

Compare the Chillout dual-prong connector and single-tube connectors where replacement fittings are required. Do not assume different connector styles are interchangeable.

See the FIA/SFI Pro Touring cooling shirt and SFI Pro Touring Sport shirt for garment options, or browse Chillout Driver Cooling Systems for coolers and related components. Confirm connections for your particular model rather than relying on the brand name alone.
