Continental Contitech 20029185 Heater Hose 50 Ft 3/4 in

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20029185 is a 50-foot automotive heater hose constructed from EPDM (Versigard) tube and cover material with a spiral reinforcement design. This hose is engineered for coolant transfer in automotive and light-duty heating systems, handling a wide temperature range from -40 degrees F to 257 degrees F. At 3/4 inch inside diameter and 13.06 pounds for the full roll, it is a practical bulk stock item for shops, fleet service operations, and mobile equipment technicians who cut hose to length on the job. The red color aids identification in mixed-hose installations.

This hose is suited for heater core supply and return lines, coolant bypass circuits, and similar low-pressure hot-coolant applications in passenger vehicles, light trucks, and small equipment. Its EPDM construction resists coolant additives, ozone, and heat degradation over extended service cycles. Supplied as a 50-foot continuous roll, it allows technicians to cut custom lengths as needed, reducing waste and inventory complexity in high-volume service environments.

Key Features

• EPDM tube and cover (Versigard) for resistance to coolant chemicals, ozone, and elevated heat
• Spiral reinforcement maintains hose shape under vacuum and pressure cycling
• Wide service range: -40 degrees F to 257 degrees F (125 degrees C)
• Red cover for easy visual identification during installation and inspection
• Meets SAE J20R3 standard for automotive heater hose performance
• 50-foot bulk roll allows field cutting to exact lengths

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement heater hose for automotive and light-duty vehicle heater circuits requiring a 3/4 inch inside diameter hose meeting SAE J20R3 specifications.

Installation Notes

Heater hose replacement is typically performed by automotive or fleet technicians. Drain or clamp off the cooling system before cutting or removing any hose to prevent coolant loss and burns from hot fluid. Use a sharp hose cutter or utility knife for a clean, square cut to ensure proper clamp seating. Allow the engine to cool fully before handling coolant-side connections, and inspect all hose clamps for corrosion before reuse.
