Continental Contitech 20017212 Straight Radiator Hose

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20017212 is a straight radiator hose designed for cooling system service in automotive and light-duty applications. Constructed from Versgard EPDM, this hose handles a maximum working pressure of 150 psi and a maximum temperature of 260 degrees F, with cold-side performance rated down to -40 degrees F. At 3 feet in length with a 1.875-inch inside diameter, it gives technicians enough material to cut to fit or route directly as a replacement. The EPDM tube and cover resist coolant degradation, ozone, and heat cycling over extended service intervals. Licensed mechanics and fleet technicians typically install this hose during cooling system overhauls or leak repairs.

This hose is suited for straight-run radiator or heater connections where a 1.875-inch inside diameter fits the application. The 3-foot length accommodates custom routing in engine bays where OEM hose geometry varies. It is appropriate for both shop-installed replacements and field service on light trucks, vans, and similar equipment running conventional or extended-life coolant systems. No splicing fittings are included; the hose is cut-to-length as needed on the job.

Key Features

• Versgard EPDM construction resists heat, ozone, and coolant chemistry
• Maximum working pressure of 150 psi for reliable sealing under system pressure
• Wide temperature range: -40 degrees F to 260 degrees F
• 1.875-inch inside diameter for direct fit on compatible cooling system ports
• 3-foot straight length allows cut-to-fit installation flexibility
• Black EPDM cover for UV and abrasion resistance in underhood environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement straight radiator hose for cooling systems requiring a 1.875-inch inside diameter straight hose connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic with the cooling system fully depressurized and cooled before hose removal. Drain or capture coolant before disconnecting existing hoses to comply with environmental regulations. Secure hose ends with appropriately sized clamps torqued per the vehicle or equipment manufacturer specification. Inspect hose routing to avoid contact with sharp edges, hot exhaust components, or moving parts before returning the system to service.
