Continental Contitech 20017169 Straight Radiator Hose

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20017169 is a straight EPDM radiator hose designed for coolant transfer in automotive and light-duty cooling system applications. Constructed from Versgard EPDM compound, this hose handles a maximum working pressure of 150 psi and a maximum temperature of 300 degrees F, making it suitable for demanding underhood environments. At 3 feet in length with a 2-1/8 inch inner diameter, it provides sufficient material for standard radiator hose runs that require cutting to fit. The blue exterior color aids in visual identification during service. Installation is performed by automotive technicians and HVAC or mechanical service professionals working on cooling systems.

This hose is suited for use in radiator and engine cooling system plumbing where a straight hose configuration is required. The 3-foot length accommodates a range of routing layouts, and the 2-1/8 inch diameter fits common radiator inlet and outlet ports found in passenger vehicles and light commercial equipment. Technicians typically cut the hose to the required length during installation. The Versgard EPDM construction resists coolant degradation, heat cycling, and ozone exposure over extended service intervals.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified automotive or mechanical technician. Drain and depressurize the cooling system completely before removing the existing hose. Ensure hose clamps are properly seated within the bead retainer area of mating fittings and torque to clamp manufacturer specifications. Inspect all mating ports for corrosion or damage before installing the new hose.
