Continental Contitech 20017202 Straight Radiator Hose

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20017202 is a straight EPDM radiator hose designed for coolant transfer in automotive and light-duty engine cooling systems. Constructed from Versgard EPDM compound, it handles a maximum working pressure of 150 psi and a maximum temperature of 260 degrees F. At 3 feet long with a 1-3/8 inch inner diameter, it provides enough length for direct-fit or cut-to-fit installations in a range of radiator and heater circuit applications. Automotive technicians and fleet service professionals rely on this hose for dependable coolant circuit repairs where heat and pressure resistance are critical.

This hose is suited for radiator inlet and outlet connections in passenger vehicles, light trucks, and small equipment powered by gasoline or diesel engines. Its straight profile fits straightforward routing paths without bends. The 3-foot length accommodates applications requiring a longer section of hose, and the 1-3/8 inch diameter matches common OEM radiator and coolant outlet fittings found across a wide range of engine cooling systems.

Installation Notes

This hose is typically installed by automotive technicians or fleet service professionals. Always drain or capture coolant before removing the old hose to prevent spills and burns from hot coolant. Ensure the cooling system is fully depressurized and cooled before beginning hose replacement. Use appropriate hose clamps rated for the system pressure and inspect fittings and clamp seats for corrosion before reinstalling.
