Triple 4 Engineering Ultimate Spec Wading Kit (black hose) to fit all Land Rover Discovery 1 200TDi & 300TDi models. This kit fits both manual and automatic transmissions.

 

Triple 4 Ultimate Spec Wading kits are, in our opinion, the best wading kits on the market today. The specification and quality of Triple 4 wading kit components are way ahead of any other wading kit, be it those from suppliers in the UK, Europe, the USA and even the home of tough 4x4 products, Australia.

Triple 4 Ultimate Spec Wading Kits take wading kits to the next Level. They are designed for all forms of off road use, from light overlanding, extreme off road through to competition use. A great deal of off-road experience and attention to detail has gone into the design of each Triple 4 Ultimate Wading Kit.

 

Triple 4 Ultimate Spec Wading Kits use superior ultra-flexible, highly abrasion resistant 8mm breather hose which allows for more air flow than the 6mm hose used in Triple 4 Overland Wading Kits. We supply you with 19 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 Ultimate Spec Wading Kits use an alloy manifold to connect each individual breather hose into a single outlet. Using an alloy manifold allows you to adapt and add to the breather system on the vehicle. It also gives you the flexibility of using different hose sizes by simply changing a union and adding breathers for things such as the fuel tank, winch motor, sealed distributor caps etc.

 

The Triple 4 gearbox, transfer box & axle breather unions are nickel plated brass, which are strong and tough enough to take the odd knock, which is inevitable when off road. The internal hose locking mechanisms are brass and stainless steel, allowing for easy disconnecting and reconnecting for maintenance. A hose release tool is included in the kit. (Cheaper wading kits use flimsy plastic unions which don't take knocks all that well and these cheap unions also use mild steel internal locking mechanisms which rust, compromising the integrity of the hose seal (i.e. they let water in) and won't release the hose when the time comes for any maintenance).

 

The breather unions we use in Triple 4 Ultimate Wading Kits are swivel type unions. This allows you to position the outlet of the breather hose just where you want it. Cheaper kits use fixed unions, where the hose outlet ends up pointing where the union happens to tighten up, not exactly where you want it. 

 

A Triple 4 “Y" connector is used in this kit to connect the Gearbox and Transfer Box breathers together. This forms one outlet to connect to the alloy manifold. The Triple 4 "Y" connectors are made from a superior grade technopolymer shell, again with brass and stainless-steel internals as used in our swivel unions.

 

Triple 4 Tdi kits also include our Triple 4 5mm power coated alloy Timing Cover Breather Plate complete with swivel union, Triple 4 OEM gasket and stainless steel fixings.

 

To finish the Triple 4 Ultimate 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. A lot of other 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. Unlike Triple 4 maluform tube which 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 connector to allow you to connect a length of Triple 4 breather hose 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 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 kit also comes with a wading plug for the engine flywheel housing and the engine timing case along with full fitting instructions for the kit.

 

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.

 

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.
