Continental Contitech 20017214 Straight Radiator Hose

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20017214 is a straight radiator hose designed for cooling system service in light and heavy-duty applications. Built from Versgard EPDM compound, the hose resists heat, coolant, and ozone degradation over extended service intervals. It measures 3 feet in length with a 2-inch inside diameter and carries a maximum working pressure of 150 psi. The rated temperature range runs from -40 degrees F to 260 degrees F, making it suitable for demanding underhood environments. HVAC technicians, fleet mechanics, and industrial maintenance crews install this hose as an OEM-style replacement or in custom cooling circuit builds where a straight run is required.

This hose fits straight-run cooling system configurations in automotive, agricultural, and industrial equipment. It is well suited for applications requiring a full 3-foot length before cutting to final dimension on the bench. The 2-inch inside diameter matches common radiator inlet and outlet ports found across a range of engine cooling systems. Installation typically involves cutting to the required length, seating over the fitting, and securing with appropriate hose clamps.

Key Features

• Versgard EPDM construction resists coolant, ozone, and heat exposure
• 2-inch inside diameter fits standard radiator and heater circuit ports
• 3-foot straight length allows field cutting to exact run requirements
• 150 psi maximum working pressure handles pressurized cooling systems
• Temperature range of -40 degrees F to 260 degrees F covers extreme operating conditions
• Black EPDM cover provides UV and abrasion resistance in underhood environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or universal-fit straight radiator hose for cooling systems requiring a 2-inch inside diameter straight hose section.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or technician with the cooling system depressurized and coolant drained to a safe level before removing the old hose. Allow the engine to cool completely before service to prevent burns from residual heat or pressurized coolant. Secure both ends with appropriately rated hose clamps torqued per the clamp manufacturer guidelines. Inspect fittings and connection ports for corrosion or damage before installing the new hose.
