Continental Contitech 20017170 Straight Radiator Hose

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20017170 is a straight radiator hose designed for coolant transfer in engine cooling systems. Built from Versgard EPDM, the hose handles a maximum working pressure of 150 psi and a temperature range of -40 degrees F to 300 degrees F. The 2.25-inch inside diameter and 36-inch length make it well suited for high-demand cooling circuit runs where a pre-cut straight hose eliminates the need for custom fabrication. The blue EPDM cover resists ozone, weathering, and coolant exposure over extended service intervals. This hose is installed by automotive and diesel technicians, fleet maintenance professionals, and industrial equipment mechanics.

The 20017170 is used in radiator inlet and outlet connections on gasoline and diesel engines where a straight hose configuration is appropriate. Its 36-inch length allows the installer to cut to fit, accommodating a range of routing distances. The Versgard EPDM construction makes it a practical choice for heavy-duty and commercial vehicle cooling systems as well as industrial equipment requiring reliable coolant containment at elevated temperatures and pressures.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by automotive, diesel, or industrial equipment technicians. Drain and depressurize the cooling system completely before removing any hose. Inspect clamp seats and connection fittings for corrosion or damage before installing the new hose. Torque hose clamps according to the vehicle or equipment manufacturer specifications and verify there are no coolant leaks after refilling and pressure-testing the system.
