Never compromise on a snorkel kit because having a good snorkel means the difference between huge or no expenditure. You cannot avoid getting stuck when the going gets deep, but your ride can handle it smoothly if you have the right snorkel kit. Polaris General 1000 Riser Snorkel by High Lifter has been developed by the industry leading engineers after years and years of research.
The tubing in the kit has been manufactured from high-grade vinyl. The riser brackets have been powder-coated for lasting protection against the harsh outdoors. Water is kept out of the differentials and transmission through the bellows. The riser size is based on the individual model of the UTV. Installation is easy, thanks to the detailed video instructions that come with the kit. Moreover, the snorkel kit includes all the hardware that is needed for the efficient working of the snorkels.
Snorkel Kit Features:
- Heavy Duty Vinyl Tubing to route difficult locations where the competition uses think tubing
- Custom Powder Coated Riser Bracket are durable and evenly spaced
- High Heat Silicon Hose in those critical areas where the competition melts
- Bellows to keep water out of differentials and transmission
- 1 1/2", 2" or 3" Risers- based on specific model
- Rubber Grommets hold the tube in the fixed place
- Comes with all the hardware and instructions needed for mounting
- Mounting instructions are detailed and include colored pictures
Snorkel Kit Benefits :
- Bellows allow the differential and transmission air to expand and contract without the need for long vent lines that can easily get plugged with mud or be pulled off
- Prevents water, mud, and debris from gaining an entrance to the engine and clutch housings
- Provides the much needed clean and dry air to the engine and the other parts of the ride that needing venting
- Each Kit is specifically engineered to fit your particular application
FAQ :
Why Snorkel? Simply put – The right snorkel can be the best insurance you buy for your ATV or UTV. The right snorkel can protect you expensive investment from disaster when submerged deeper than OE rated water depth. On the other hand, the wrong snorkel can be your worst investment and nightmare. We’ve seen countless units come through our shop with leaking snorkels.
How could that happen? Snorkels leak for a variety of reasons. Installation errors account for a lot these. Many times a do-it-yourselfer may get it right, but only for a short time. When pipes aren’t cut to correct length and things don’t line up quite right, many times the snorkel will prevent water, but only for a limited time, then the joint fails. One of the most common that we’ve seen is failure due to a heat source. When the snorkel runs close to heat source the snorkel material deteriorates during each ride. The material gets harder and more brittle and many times begins to deform. At some point the material cracks and begins to let mud and water in. Less expensive kits rarely provide the heat resistant material to account for this. Our goal is to avoid these areas. This can take more time and more material, but goes a long way to extending the life of the snorkel and the ATV/UTV.
What does a Snorkel do? A snorkel kit is intended to provide clean, dry air to the engine and other parts needing venting on ATVs/UTVs such as clutches, differentials, transmission, carburetors and fuel tanks. This doesn’t necessarily mean the ATV/UTV should exceed the OE manufacturer’s stated maximum rated water line depth. The snorkel kit is intended as additional margin of protection in the event that the ATV/UTV is inadvertently driven into water deeper than the OE manufacturer’s air intakes will tolerate. There are many considerations to make when increasing water line depth and a snorkel is just one component.
We know a little about taking off-road vehicles to the extreme - especially when it comes to deep water and mud. Trust us to protect your ride from deep water hazards with Diver Down Snorkels by High Lifter Products.
