Unicoil, a universal alternative to pre-molded automotive hoses, is now being sold and marketed in the United States and Canada, the maker said. Sold under the Unicoil brand by Gates Corp. and under the EZ-Coil brand by Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., its design allows the fleet technician to bend ordinary, straight hoses into any shape for a custom fit for any vehicle, the company said.

The stainless steel Unicoil product, manufactured by Australia-based Unicoil International, is simply slid down a length of hose to wherever a bend is needed, and by using nothing more than hand pressure, the hose can be shaped exactly as required – up to 90º without kinking, the maker said. It is made completely from stainless steel, which ensures its reliability even under the harshest conditions and guarantees a lifetime of service. The product is available in a range of sizes from one-fourth of an inch to one inch in diameter and can work with most standard hoses, including water, air, emissions and oil hoses.

“This advancement in automotive parts technology offers many advantages for installers, retailers and the D.I.Y repairer,” said Dennis Bozic, Unicoil inventor and managing director. “The universal coverage provided by Unicoil products allows shop owners, auto mechanics and fleet managers to conveniently service the demand for thousands of different molded hoses with a small product range, while providing an immediate fit solution.”

The product offers a positive impact on shop owners’ and fleet managers’ bottom line by allowing coverage of a wider range of makes and models with minimal inventory. Customer service also improves, as trade professionals will always have the right solution available and avoid sending potential customers to competitors. Also, the need for consumers to wait lengthy periods while the pre-shaped part is researched and located is eliminated.

Key points summarized:

· Lifetime service

· Made out of stainless steel

· Unique design allows for a kink-free bend

· Perfect for custom hose bends

· Strengthens and protects hose
