Continental Contitech 20029198 Heater Hose 50 Ft 1/2 in

Product Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20029198 is an EPDM (Versigard) automotive heater hose designed for coolant transfer between the engine and heater core in passenger vehicles and light trucks. Constructed from EPDM rubber, this hose resists heat, ozone, and coolant degradation over extended service life. The 50-foot length allows the installer to cut sections to the exact dimension required for each application, reducing the need for multiple hose sizes on the service vehicle. At 1/2 inch inside diameter, it fits standard heater circuit fittings found across a wide range of domestic and import vehicles. The blue color allows quick visual identification during installation and inspection.

This hose is suited for automotive and light-duty truck heater circuits where a flexible, heat-resistant coolant hose is required. The 50-foot coil format makes it a practical shop supply for automotive service centers, fleet maintenance operations, and mobile mechanics who regularly perform coolant system repairs and heater hose replacements. Sections can be cut to length on the bench before installation, speeding up the repair process across multiple vehicle makes and models.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement heater hose for automotive and light truck coolant heater circuits requiring a 1/2 inch inside diameter EPDM hose. No specific vehicle model or system family compatibility was provided in the product data — verify inside diameter, outside diameter, and pressure rating against the original equipment specification before installation.

Installation Notes

Heater hose replacement is typically performed by an automotive technician. Allow the cooling system to cool completely and release any pressure at the radiator cap before disconnecting existing hoses. Use a sharp hose cutter or utility knife to cut sections cleanly and squarely to minimize the risk of leaks at the fitting connection. Secure each end with an appropriately sized hose clamp and verify there are no coolant leaks during the post-installation warm-up cycle.
