Continental Contitech 20017179 Straight Radiator Hose

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20017179 is a straight radiator hose designed for heavy-duty cooling system applications. Built from Versgard EPDM compound, this hose measures 3 feet in length with a 4-inch inner diameter and is rated for a maximum working pressure of 150 psi and a maximum temperature of 300 degrees F. The EPDM construction provides strong resistance to coolant, heat, and weathering, making it a reliable choice for demanding cooling system service. Installation is handled by qualified diesel technicians, fleet maintenance professionals, and heavy equipment service crews working on large-bore cooling circuit repairs or replacements.

This hose is suited for large-displacement diesel engines and industrial cooling systems requiring a straight 4-inch diameter hose connection. Typical applications include heavy truck radiator plumbing, off-highway equipment cooling circuits, and stationary engine cooling system service where high-pressure and high-temperature performance is required. The blue color aids in quick visual identification during inspections and system walkthroughs.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified diesel or heavy equipment technician. Drain and isolate the cooling system and allow the engine to cool completely before removing any hose. Ensure all clamps are properly seated and torqued to the equipment manufacturer's specifications. Inspect hose ends and mating fittings for cracks or corrosion before installing the new hose.
