In karts with an engine liquid cooling system, the pipes play a fundamental role in the correct circulation of the liquid within the circuit. In fact, their management is crucial to ensure the correct flow of water to the engine and to prevent malfunctions (or even worse, breakages). On the market there are different types that differ mainly based on the material they are made of and their structure. To help you make an informed choice, we indicate the 4 main types of pipes (rubber, cloth rubber, silicone and aluminium), highlighting, for each of these, the pros and cons regarding their use. Finally, we suggest recommend an accessory dedicated to the correct installation of the pipes on karts.
