Continental Contitech 20017225 Straight Radiator Hose

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20017225 is a straight EPDM radiator hose designed for cooling system service in automotive and light-duty applications. Built from Versgard EPDM compound, it handles a maximum working pressure of 150 psi and a maximum temperature of 260 degrees F. The hose measures 3 feet in length with a 2-5/8 inch inside diameter. Its straight profile suits direct-run coolant connections where no bend or elbow geometry is needed. HVAC and automotive service technicians use this hose as a replacement or cut-to-length option in cooling circuits that require a reliable, heat-resistant elastomer construction.

This hose is suited for radiator inlet and outlet connections on vehicles and equipment where straight-run coolant plumbing is specified. The EPDM compound performs well in high-temperature cooling system environments, resisting glycol-based coolants and the thermal cycling common in engine compartment service. It is appropriate for both OEM-style replacement and custom fabrication work where the technician cuts the hose to a required shorter length on site.

Key Features

• Versgard EPDM construction resists glycol coolants and high-temperature cycling
• 150 psi maximum working pressure for reliable cooling system performance
• 260 degrees F maximum temperature rating
• 3-foot length allows cut-to-fit installation flexibility
• 2-5/8 inch inside diameter fits standard large-bore radiator connections
• Straight profile for direct-run coolant plumbing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement straight radiator hose for cooling systems requiring a 2-5/8 inch inside diameter straight hose connection.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by automotive or diesel service technicians. Drain and recover coolant from the system before removing the existing hose, and allow the engine to cool completely before service. Secure hose clamps to manufacturer-specified positions at each fitting end. Refill and bleed the cooling system after installation to prevent air pockets.
