Continental Contitech 20029158 Heater Hose 50 Ft 1 in

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20029158 is a 50-foot automotive heater hose constructed with an EPDM tube and EPDM cover, designed for coolant transfer in automotive and light-duty heating systems. This Versigard-compound hose uses a spiral reinforcement design that resists collapse under vacuum and maintains flexibility across a wide service temperature range of -40 to 257 degrees F. At 1 inch inside diameter, it is sized for standard heater circuit connections found in passenger vehicles and light trucks. Automotive technicians and fleet maintenance professionals install this hose as a bulk-roll solution for high-volume service or custom-length cuts.

This hose is suited for closed-loop engine coolant heater circuits in automotive applications where EPDM compounds are specified for compatibility with glycol-based coolants. The 50-foot bulk length allows shops to cut exact lengths for multiple jobs from a single roll, reducing waste and inventory cost. It meets SAE J20R3 standards, making it appropriate for heater inlet and outlet routing in a broad range of vehicle platforms. The black EPDM cover provides resistance to abrasion and ozone degradation in underhood environments.

Key Features

• EPDM tube and cover construction for glycol coolant compatibility and ozone resistance
• Spiral reinforcement resists collapse and kinking under vacuum and pressure
• Wide temperature range: -40 to 257 degrees F for reliable year-round service
• Meets SAE J20R3 standard for automotive heater hose applications
• 50-foot bulk roll allows custom-length cuts for multiple repair jobs
• 1-inch inside diameter fits standard automotive heater circuit fittings

Compatibility

Designed as a bulk-roll automotive heater hose meeting SAE J20R3 specifications, suitable for heater inlet and outlet circuits in passenger vehicles and light trucks that require a 1-inch inside diameter EPDM heater hose.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by automotive technicians or fleet maintenance professionals. Drain or isolate the cooling system and allow the engine to cool completely before removing existing hose. Cut the bulk roll to the required length using a sharp hose cutter for a clean, square end. Secure with appropriately rated hose clamps and inspect all connections for leaks after refilling and pressure-testing the cooling system.
