Continental Contitech 20017193 Straight Radiator Hose

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20017193 is a straight EPDM radiator hose designed to carry engine coolant between the radiator and engine block in automotive and light-duty cooling systems. Constructed from Versgard EPDM compound, it handles a maximum working pressure of 150 psi and a maximum temperature of 260 degrees F, making it suitable for demanding under-hood service conditions. The hose measures 3 feet in length with a 1.125-inch inner diameter and ships in a straight configuration, allowing technicians to cut it to the required length on the vehicle. It weighs 1.26 pounds. Licensed mechanics and fleet service techs are the primary installers of this hose type.

This hose fits cooling system service applications where a straight, bulk-cut radiator hose is needed. The 3-foot straight length gives technicians flexibility when replacing worn, cracked, or swollen OEM hoses in passenger cars, light trucks, and small equipment with 1.125-inch coolant line connections. The black EPDM construction resists ozone, heat aging, and coolant fluid degradation over extended service intervals. It is well suited for shop stock where multiple vehicle makes and models are serviced regularly.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed mechanic or qualified service technician. Drain and depressurize the cooling system fully before removing the old hose, and allow the engine to cool to ambient temperature to prevent burn hazard. Secure hose clamps at both ends to the hose manufacturer's recommendation and verify no coolant leaks are present before returning the vehicle to service. Dispose of used coolant according to local environmental regulations.
