Triple 4 Engineering Overland Spec “Easy Fit” Wading Kit (black hose) to fit all Land Rover Discovery 2 TD5 & V8 models. (This kit fits both manual and automatic transmission.)
Triple 4 Overland Spec “Easy Fit” Wading kits are our entry level wading kits. The specification and quality of Triple 4 wading kits, are, even in our entry level kits, way ahead of any other wading kit out there, be it those from suppliers in the UK, Europe, the USA and even the home of tough 4x4 products, Australia,
What makes Triple 4 Wading Kits the Best?
Triple 4 Overland Spec “Easy Fit” Wading Kits are designed for light off road use and green laning / touring, As the name suggests, they are designed to be an “Easy Fit”. In terms of quality, as with all Triple 4 Wading Kits, we use the best components available.
Triple 4 Overland Spec “Easy Fit” Wading Kits use superior ultra-flexible, highly abrasion resistant 6mm breather hose. We supply you with 14 metres of hose in each kit, which is more than most other kits on the market. This allows you to route all the breathers exactly where you want them without having to worry about running out of hose.
Triple 4 Overland Spec “Easy Fit” Wading Kits use a Technopolymer manifold to connect each individual breather hose into a single outlet.
The “Easy Fit” kits uses a “Y" connector to connect to the factory fitted standard Gearbox and Transfer Box breathers. This then forms one outlet to connect to the manifold. The Triple 4 "Y" connectors are made from a superior grade technopolymer shell with brass and stainless-steel internals as used in our swivel unions.
For the axle breathers in this kit, you simply remove the existing factory fitted axle breather hose and replace it with the Triple 4 hose supplied in the kit and run the hose up to the manifold. The factory fitted breathers use ferrule on the axle, these are ok, but they aren’t brilliant. We have a solution to that in our mid-range Overland Wading Kits.
A release tool is included in the kit to make hose removal from the unions and manifold easy and simple
To finish the Triple 4 Overland Spec “Easy Fit” Wading Kit, a 2 metre length of alloy maluform tube is supplied in the kit. This is to allow you to vent the wading kit up to the top of the raised air intake / snorkel, or up the back of the cab for tray back / competition vehicles. Alloy maluform tube is a rubber lined alloy tube. It retains its shape once bent, so it provides a neat way to finish the wading kit installation. Cheaper wading kits just use nylon hose for this, nylon hose isn't UV stable and quickly discolours and cracks when exposed to the sun for long periods. Triple 4 maluform tube is UV stable and won’t discolour or crack.
The maluform tube will connect directly into the alloy manifold, however, we also supply you with a 8mm to 8mm connector to allow you to connect a length of Triple 4 8mm breather hose (supplied in the kit) between the manifold and the alloy maluform tube. Nylon been much more flexible in routing the hose from the manifold under the bonnet to the raised air intake on the wing.
The alloy maluform tube also come with 4 stainless steel rubber lined "P" clips and stainless steel self-tappers which you can use to secure the hose to the windscreen frame, or alternatively, and our preferred method, is to cable tie it to the raised air intake or external roll cage.
The kits come with everything needed to fit them, i.e. cable ties and all fixings, all supplied in generous quantities. In all our years of experience, with many other brands of wading kit, you never seem to be supplied with enough cable ties and fixings to do the job.
Our kits comes with full fitting instructions, and if you need to connect anything else to the manifold, or need any advice, just get in touch. We are old fashioned and like to use the phone, so this is the quickest and easiest way to contact us.
