Continental Contitech 20017223 Straight Radiator Hose

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20017223 is a straight radiator hose designed for cooling system service in automotive and light industrial applications. Built from Versgard EPDM compound, the hose handles a maximum working pressure of 150 psi and a maximum temperature of 260 degrees F, while remaining flexible down to -40 degrees F. At 3 feet in length with a 2.5-inch inside diameter, it gives technicians enough material to cut to fit or route through tight engine compartments. The black EPDM cover and tube construction resist coolant, heat, and ozone degradation over extended service intervals.

This hose is suited for upper or lower radiator hose runs in vehicles and equipment where a straight hose section is required. Its generous 3-foot length supports custom installations and reduces the need for additional couplings. HVAC and mechanical technicians working on engine cooling loops, hydronic heating systems, or industrial fluid transfer applications will find the 2.5-inch bore and 150 psi pressure rating adequate for a wide range of service conditions. The Versgard EPDM formulation performs reliably across the temperature extremes common in both seasonal automotive use and year-round industrial environments.

Key Features

• Versgard EPDM tube and cover for coolant and ozone resistance
• 2.5-inch inside diameter accommodates standard large-bore radiator connections
• 3-foot straight length allows cutting to exact fit
• 150 psi maximum working pressure
• Temperature range from -40 degrees F to 260 degrees F
• Black finish for standard engine bay identification

Compatibility

Designed as a straight EPDM radiator hose for automotive and light industrial cooling systems requiring a 2.5-inch inside diameter hose. Verify inside diameter, length requirements, and end fitment before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified automotive or mechanical technician. Drain and depressurize the cooling system completely before removing any hose. Use appropriate hose clamps rated for the system pressure, and ensure all connections are fully seated before refilling and pressure-testing the system. Do not exceed the 150 psi maximum working pressure rating of this hose.
