Continental Contitech 20029117 Heater Hose 50 Ft 3/8 in

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20029117 is a 50-foot automotive heater hose constructed from EPDM (Versigard) tube and cover material with spiral reinforcement. Designed for coolant transfer in automotive and light-duty heating circuits, this hose handles a wide operating temperature range from -40 degrees F to 257 degrees F, making it suitable for year-round service in demanding underhood environments. The EPDM compound resists coolant degradation, ozone, and heat aging. Technicians and fleet maintenance professionals cut this hose to length on the job, reducing the need to stock multiple precut sizes. It meets SAE J20R3 standards, confirming its suitability for automotive heater applications.

This hose is used in automotive heater circuits where coolant is routed between the engine and the cabin heater core. A 50-foot bulk roll is a practical choice for shops, fleet service facilities, and mobile mechanics who service multiple vehicles. The 3/8-inch inside diameter fits heater hose connections common to a wide range of passenger cars, light trucks, and small equipment. The black EPDM cover resists underhood heat and abrasion during routing through tight engine bays.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by automotive technicians or fleet maintenance professionals. Drain and relieve pressure from the cooling system before cutting or replacing any heater hose. Use a sharp hose cutter or utility knife for clean, square cuts to ensure proper clamp seating. Secure cut ends with appropriate hose clamps torqued per the vehicle or equipment manufacturer specifications.
