Continental Contitech 20017221 Straight Radiator Hose

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20017221 is a straight radiator hose designed for coolant system service in automotive and light-duty equipment applications. Built from Versgard EPDM compound, the hose handles a maximum working pressure of 150 psi and a maximum temperature of 260 degrees F, with a cold-side rating down to -40 degrees F. The inside diameter measures 2.375 inches and the hose runs 3 feet in length, making it suitable for upper or lower radiator connections where a straight configuration is required. HVAC and fleet mechanics rely on this hose for its resistance to coolant, heat, and ozone degradation common in engine compartments.

This hose is used in radiator and cooling system repairs on passenger vehicles, light trucks, and small commercial equipment where a straight 2.375-inch ID hose is specified. The full 3-foot length allows techs to cut to fit on applications where the OEM hose length varies or where a universal replacement is preferred over a molded part. The black EPDM cover resists surface cracking in high-heat underhood environments.

Key Features

• Versgard EPDM construction resists coolant, ozone, and heat degradation
• Maximum working pressure of 150 psi suits standard pressurized cooling systems
• Wide temperature range of -40 to 260 degrees F for year-round service
• Straight profile allows cut-to-fit installation across multiple vehicle applications
• 2.375-inch inside diameter fits common large-diameter radiator connections
• Black cover finish provides UV and abrasion resistance in underhood environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement straight radiator hose for vehicles and equipment requiring a 2.375-inch inside diameter coolant hose; cut to length as needed for specific fitment.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified automotive or fleet technician. Allow the engine to cool completely and release all cooling system pressure before removing the existing hose. Drain coolant to below the hose connection points before service. Inspect hose clamps and connection necks for corrosion or damage before installing the new hose, and refill the system with the correct coolant mixture per the vehicle manufacturer specification.
