Continental Contitech 20018688 Cross-linked Hose 150 Psi

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20018688 is a cross-linked hose designed for fluid transfer applications requiring reliable pressure containment and flexible routing. With an outside diameter of 1-15/64 inches and a maximum working pressure of 150 psi, this hose is built for demanding service environments where standard rubber hose may not be suitable. The cross-linked polymer construction provides improved resistance to heat, pressure, and chemical degradation compared to conventional thermoplastic hose. It is installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors working on hydronic, water distribution, or industrial fluid systems.

This hose is suited for residential and light commercial installations where a flexible, pressure-rated connection is required. The 7-inch minimum bend radius allows for routing in tight spaces without kinking or flow restriction. Typical applications include hydronic heating and cooling systems, potable or process water lines, and equipment connections where rigid piping is impractical. Weighing 0.42 pounds per packaged unit, the hose ships in single-unit quantities.

Key Features

• Cross-linked polymer construction for enhanced heat and pressure resistance
• 150 psi maximum working pressure for demanding fluid transfer service
• 1-15/64 inch outside diameter for compatibility with standard fittings
• 7-inch minimum bend radius allows routing in confined spaces without kinking
• Lightweight at 0.42 pounds packaged, reducing handling fatigue on the job

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation hose for residential and light commercial fluid transfer systems requiring a flexible, cross-linked hose with a 1-15/64 inch outside diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber or mechanical contractor in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Depressurize and isolate the system before cutting or connecting the hose. Ensure all fittings are rated for the system operating pressure and are compatible with cross-linked hose material. Avoid exceeding the 7-inch minimum bend radius to prevent flow restriction or hose damage.
