Continental Contitech 20017166 Straight Radiator Hose

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20017166 is a straight radiator hose designed for coolant transfer in engine cooling systems. Built from Versgard EPDM compound, it handles a maximum working pressure of 150 psi and a maximum temperature of 300 degrees F. At 3 feet long with a 1-7/8 inch inside diameter, it suits a wide range of radiator and heater hose routing applications. The blue EPDM construction resists heat, ozone, and coolant degradation over extended service intervals. This hose is installed by automotive technicians, heavy equipment mechanics, and industrial maintenance professionals working on liquid-cooled engine systems.

This hose is suited for use in straight-run coolant plumbing on automotive, light truck, and industrial engine applications where a 1-7/8 inch inside diameter fits the system routing. The 3-foot length allows the technician to cut to fit as needed for custom or replacement runs. EPDM construction makes it appropriate for systems running conventional or extended-life coolant formulas. It is typically found in radiator inlet and outlet connections, heater core supply and return lines, and similar low-to-moderate pressure coolant circuits.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement straight radiator hose for automotive, light truck, and industrial engine cooling systems requiring a 1-7/8 inch inside diameter straight hose.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified automotive or mechanical technicians. Drain and depressurize the cooling system fully before removing any hose. Inspect all clamps, fittings, and mating surfaces for wear or corrosion before installing the new hose. Torque hose clamps to the equipment manufacturer's specification and refill the cooling system with the appropriate coolant mixture before returning the system to service.
