Continental Contitech 20017204 Straight Radiator Hose

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20017204 is a straight radiator hose designed for cooling system service in automotive and light-duty applications. Built from Versgard EPDM compound, this hose handles a maximum working pressure of 150 psi and a maximum temperature of 260 degrees F, with a low-end rating of -40 degrees F. The 1.5-inch inside diameter and 3-foot straight length make it a reliable choice for technicians performing cooling system repairs, replacements, or custom fabrications where a pre-cut straight hose section is required.

This hose is suited for radiator and coolant circuit installations in residential, commercial, and fleet vehicle service environments. The straight configuration works well in applications where bends are handled by fittings or existing plumbing geometry. Shop technicians, fleet maintenance crews, and mobile service pros will find the 3-foot length practical for a range of cooling system jobs requiring a standard 1.5-inch ID hose.

Key Features

• Versgard EPDM construction for excellent heat, ozone, and coolant resistance
• 1.5-inch inside diameter fits standard radiator and coolant circuit connections
• 3-foot straight length provides flexibility for custom cuts and routing
• 150 psi maximum working pressure suits typical pressurized cooling systems
• Wide temperature range of -40 degrees F to 260 degrees F for demanding service conditions
• Black EPDM cover resists abrasion and environmental exposure

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement straight radiator hose for pressurized cooling systems requiring a 1.5-inch inside diameter hose connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician with the cooling system fully depressurized and coolant drained to an appropriate level before hose removal. Allow the engine to cool completely before loosening hose clamps or fittings to avoid burns from residual pressure or hot coolant. Use new hose clamps of the correct size and torque to the clamp manufacturer's specification. Inspect coolant fittings and connection points for corrosion or damage before installing the new hose.
