Continental Contitech 20017158 Straight Radiator Hose

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20017158 is a straight radiator hose designed for coolant transfer in automotive and light-duty cooling systems. Built from Versgard EPDM compound, the hose handles a maximum working pressure of 150 psi and a maximum temperature of 300 degrees F, with a low-end rating of -40 degrees F. At 36 inches long with a 7/8 inch inside diameter, it provides a full-length straight run suited to tight routing paths. Licensed HVAC and automotive service technicians install this type of hose as part of radiator, heater core, and engine coolant circuit service work.

This hose is intended for straight-run coolant plumbing in vehicles and light equipment where a 7/8 inch inside diameter and 36 inch length match the OEM routing path. The Versgard EPDM construction resists engine coolant, heat cycling, and ozone degradation, making it appropriate for both new installations and replacement service in passenger vehicles, light trucks, and similar applications. The blue cover color provides easy identification during installation and inspection.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement straight radiator hose for vehicles and light equipment with a 7/8 inch inside diameter coolant hose connection. Verify inside diameter and length requirements before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by automotive or diesel service technicians. Drain and capture coolant before removing the existing hose, and allow the engine to cool completely before handling any cooling system components. Use appropriate hose clamps rated for the system pressure, and inspect all fittings and clamp seats for corrosion or damage before installing the new hose. Dispose of used coolant in accordance with local environmental regulations.
