Continental Contitech 20017159 Straight Radiator Hose

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20017159 is a straight radiator hose designed for use in engine cooling systems where a direct, non-curved hose run is required. Built from Versgard EPDM compound, this hose handles coolant service from -40 degrees F up to 300 degrees F with a maximum working pressure of 150 psi. The 1-inch inside diameter and 3-foot length give technicians enough material to cut to fit or use as a direct replacement on standard radiator inlet and outlet connections. Installation is performed by licensed automotive or heavy-equipment mechanics during cooling system service or overhaul.

This hose is suited for light-duty and commercial vehicle radiator applications as well as stationary engine cooling systems that require a straight hose segment. The blue EPDM cover resists ozone, heat, and coolant degradation over extended service cycles. At 3 feet in length, the hose accommodates a range of routing configurations without splicing. It ships as a single unit and is stocked for individual replacement or kept on hand as service inventory by fleet and shop technicians.

Key Features

• Versgard EPDM construction resists coolant, ozone, and high-heat exposure
• 150 psi maximum working pressure for pressurized cooling system service
• Wide temperature range: -40 degrees F minimum to 300 degrees F maximum
• 1-inch inside diameter fits standard radiator hose connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement straight radiator hose for engine cooling systems requiring a 1-inch inside diameter, straight-run hose segment rated for pressurized coolant service.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by an automotive or diesel technician. Drain and depressurize the cooling system completely before removing the old hose. Inspect hose clamps and mating fittings for corrosion or damage before installing the new hose. Torque hose clamps to the vehicle or equipment manufacturer specification and refill the cooling system with the appropriate coolant mixture before returning the system to service.
