Continental Contitech 20017227 Straight Radiator Hose

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20017227 is a straight radiator hose designed for coolant transfer in automotive and light-duty engine cooling systems. Constructed from Versgard EPDM rubber, it measures 2.75 inches in inside diameter and 3 feet in length, making it suitable for standard radiator inlet and outlet connections. It carries a maximum working pressure rating of 150 psi and withstands temperatures up to 260 degrees F. EPDM construction provides solid resistance to coolant, heat, and ozone degradation. This hose is installed by automotive technicians, fleet maintenance professionals, and experienced DIYers performing cooling system service.

This hose is intended for use in engine cooling system applications where a straight, unreinforced radiator hose is required. Its 2.75-inch diameter fits a range of radiator neck and engine outlet connections commonly found in medium to large displacement gasoline and diesel engines. The 3-foot length gives technicians material to cut to final fit or to replace a full-length factory hose without splicing. Its black EPDM construction is compatible with most ethylene glycol and OAT-based coolants used in current service.

• Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure
• Rated to 260 degrees F maximum operating temperature

Compatibility

Designed as a straight OEM-style replacement radiator hose for engine cooling systems requiring a 2.75-inch inside diameter straight hose. Verify inside diameter, length, and end fitment against the original hose before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified automotive or diesel technicians. Drain and recover coolant before removing the old hose, and allow the engine to cool completely to avoid burn hazard from pressurized coolant. Inspect hose clamps and replace if corroded or damaged. Torque hose clamps to the vehicle or equipment manufacturer specification and pressure-test the cooling system after refill to confirm no leaks before returning the vehicle to service.
