Continental Contitech 20017167 Straight Radiator Hose

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20017167 is a straight radiator hose built for high-temperature coolant transfer in automotive and heavy-duty cooling systems. Constructed from Versgard EPDM, this hose measures 36 inches in length with a 2-inch inside diameter and handles working pressures up to 150 psi. The EPDM tube and cover resist coolant degradation, ozone, and heat, with a rated temperature range of -40 degrees F to 300 degrees F. The blue exterior makes it easy to identify during inspection. HVAC technicians, fleet mechanics, and cooling system specialists typically install this type of hose during radiator service, coolant flush procedures, or hose replacement on aging systems.

This hose is suited for straight-run coolant routing in applications where a 2-inch inside diameter and 36-inch straight configuration align with the OEM hose path. It is commonly used in commercial vehicles, agricultural equipment, industrial cooling circuits, and automotive cooling systems that require a durable, heat-resistant EPDM hose. The Versgard compound is engineered specifically for extended service life in hot coolant environments, making it a reliable choice for both scheduled maintenance and emergency replacement work.

Key Features

• Versgard EPDM construction resists heat, ozone, and coolant chemicals
• 150 psi maximum working pressure for demanding cooling system loads
• Wide temperature range: -40 degrees F to 300 degrees F
• Straight configuration simplifies installation in direct-run hose paths
• 2-inch inside diameter and 36-inch length for precise fitment
• Blue cover allows quick visual identification during inspection

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement straight radiator hose for cooling systems requiring a 2-inch inside diameter and 36-inch straight configuration. Confirm inside diameter, length, and routing path against the existing hose before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or cooling system technician. Drain and depressurize the cooling system completely before removing the old hose, and allow the engine to cool to avoid burn hazards. Use appropriate hose clamps rated for the system pressure and torque them to the vehicle or equipment manufacturer's specification. Inspect the fitting necks and thermostat housing for corrosion or damage before seating the new hose.
