Continental Contitech 20017175 Straight Radiator Hose

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20017175 is a straight radiator hose designed for cooling system service in automotive and light-duty applications. Constructed 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 2.75-inch inside diameter, it suits replacement or custom-length cooling system runs where a straight hose geometry is required. HVAC and fleet service technicians as well as experienced DIYers install this hose when routing coolant between the radiator, engine block, or heater core in systems that demand reliable EPDM performance under sustained heat and pressure cycles.

This hose is suited for straight-run cooling system installations in passenger vehicles, light trucks, and similar equipment. Its EPDM construction resists coolant degradation, ozone, and heat, making it appropriate for both OEM-style replacement and custom-fabricated cooling circuit runs. The blue exterior color aids visual identification during installation and inspection. It ships as a single unit and is intended for applications where a 2.75-inch inside diameter straight hose is specified.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement straight radiator hose for cooling systems requiring a 2.75-inch inside diameter straight hose configuration rated to 150 psi and 300 degrees F.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician following proper cooling system service procedures. Drain and depressurize the cooling system completely before removing any hoses. Use appropriate hose clamps rated for the system pressure and inspect mating fittings and clamp seats for corrosion or damage before installation. Follow vehicle manufacturer torque specifications for hose clamps and refill the system with the correct coolant mixture, then pressure-test before returning the vehicle to service.
