Continental Contitech 20017160 Straight Radiator Hose

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20017160 is a straight radiator hose designed for coolant system service in automotive and light-duty applications. Built from Versgard EPDM compound, it handles a maximum working pressure of 150 psi and a maximum temperature of 300 degrees F. The hose measures 1.125 inches in inside diameter and 36 inches in length, giving technicians the stock length needed to cut and fit to application. Blue exterior coloring aids visual identification during installation and inspection. EPDM construction provides resistance to coolant fluids, heat aging, and ozone exposure common in engine bay environments.

This hose is suited for radiator inlet and outlet connections in passenger vehicles and light trucks where a straight hose section is required. It is also applicable in stationary engine cooling systems, industrial heat exchange circuits, and fleet maintenance shops that stock bulk hose for cut-to-fit service. The 36-inch straight format makes it adaptable for a wide range of connection distances without requiring a molded or pre-formed shape.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement straight radiator hose for vehicles and equipment requiring a 1.125-inch inside diameter coolant hose connection.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by automotive or diesel technicians. Drain and depressurize the cooling system fully before removing the old hose. Inspect hose clamps and replace if corroded or deformed. Secure clamps to manufacturer-specified positions and confirm no coolant leaks after refilling and running the system to operating temperature.
