Continental Contitech 20029128 Heater Hose 50 Ft 5/8 in

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20029128 is a 50-foot automotive heater hose constructed with an EPDM tube and EPDM cover, marketed under the Versigard line. Designed for coolant transfer in automotive and light-duty vehicle heating systems, this hose meets SAE J20R3 standards and handles a temperature range of -40 degrees F to 257 degrees F. The spiral reinforcement adds flexibility while maintaining structural integrity under pressure cycling. At 5/8 inch inside diameter and 50 feet in length, it gives shops and fleet service techs the stock needed to cut multiple hose runs from a single coil.

This hose is suited for heater core inlet and outlet connections in passenger vehicles, light trucks, and similar automotive applications. The EPDM construction resists degradation from coolant additives, ozone, and heat, making it a reliable choice for high-cycle heating systems. Fleet shops and automotive service facilities typically keep coil stock on hand to service a wide range of vehicles without stocking individual pre-formed hoses.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by automotive or fleet service technicians. Drain and relieve system pressure from the cooling system before cutting or replacing hose runs. Use a sharp hose cutter for clean ends and ensure clamps are seated past the bead on the fitting. Follow vehicle manufacturer torque specifications for hose clamp hardware and verify no coolant leaks at all connection points before returning the vehicle to service.
