Continental Contitech 20029130 Heater Hose 250 Ft 5/8 in

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20029130 is a 250-foot bulk roll of automotive heater hose constructed from EPDM rubber under the Versigard compound designation. The hose measures 5/8 inches in inside diameter and is designed to carry engine coolant between the engine block, heater core, and associated coolant circuit components. Its EPDM tube and cover resist coolant degradation, ozone, and heat across a rated temperature range of -40 degrees F to 257 degrees F. The spiral reinforcement construction maintains hose shape under vacuum and pressure cycling. This roll format is intended for shop use, fleet maintenance operations, or wholesale distribution where bulk cutting to length is standard practice.

This heater hose is suited for automotive and light-duty truck coolant system service. Shop technicians and fleet maintenance professionals use bulk rolls to cut replacement sections to the required length for a wide variety of heater core inlet and outlet connections. The 5/8-inch inside diameter is a common size across many domestic and import vehicle platforms. The EPDM Versigard compound meets SAE J20R3, making it appropriate for use in systems running conventional and extended-life coolant formulations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified automotive or fleet technician. Drain and relieve the cooling system pressure before cutting or removing any coolant hose. Use a sharp hose cutter or utility knife to achieve a clean, square cut end for proper clamp seating. Secure each end with an appropriately sized worm-gear or spring clamp and inspect for leaks after refilling and pressure testing the cooling system.
