Unicoil Universal Automotive Hoises Available in the United States
Universal Hose Gives D.I.Y Repairers A Hassle-Free Alternative to Pre-Molded Hoses

SAN DIEGO, Calif.(Aug. 26, 2007) ­ Providing unmatched versatility and convenience, Unicoil, a universal alternative to pre-molded automotive hoses, is now being sold and marketed in the United States and Canada.

Sold under the Unicoil brand by Gates Corp. and under the EZ-Coil brand by Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., Unicoil's patented design allows any car enthusiast or home automotive repairer to bend straight hoses into any shape for a custom fit for any vehicle.

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 90 degrees ­ without kinking. The Unicoil is made completely from stainless steel, which ensures its reliability even under the harshest conditions and guarantees a lifetime of service. The Unicoil 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 the D.I.Y repairer," said Dennis Bozic, Unicoil inventor and managing director. "The universal coverage provided by Unicoil products allows auto enthusiasts to be able to find an immediate fit solution for almost any make or model."

The product offers consumers a quick and cost-effective alternative to pre-molded hoses by eliminating the lengthy waiting period associated with researching and locating a pre-shaped part. By keeping a few sizes of the Unicoil product and a universal hose on hand, D.I.Y. repairers have all the tools they need to replace or repair almost any automotive hose.

The Unicoil product is sold under the Unicoil brand at O¹Reilly Auto Parts, CARQUEST and ACDelco locations, and under the EZ-Coil brand at AutoZone, Checker Auto Parts, Schuck¹s Auto Supply, Kragen Auto Parts, Pep Boys, Canadian Tire and more.
