Description
The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20017185 is a straight radiator hose designed for coolant transfer in automotive and light-duty engine cooling systems. Built from Versgard EPDM compound, this hose resists heat, ozone, and coolant degradation across a wide service range, from -40 degrees F up to 260 degrees F. At 3 feet in length with a 0.75-inch inside diameter, it suits standard radiator inlet and outlet connections. Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure, it handles the demands of pressurized cooling circuits. HVAC and fleet technicians, as well as automotive and equipment service professionals, install this hose as a direct replacement or custom-cut segment in cooling system repairs.
This hose is suited for use in passenger vehicles, light trucks, and small engine equipment where a 3/4-inch straight radiator hose is required. Its straight profile fits runs without bends, making it appropriate for direct point-to-point coolant routing. The EPDM construction handles exposure to ethylene glycol-based coolants and withstands underhood heat cycles. It can be cut to length in the field when a shorter segment is needed, giving technicians flexibility on varied installations.
Key Features
- Versgard EPDM tube and cover material for heat, ozone, and coolant resistance
- Straight profile for direct coolant routing without bends
- 150 psi maximum working pressure rating
- Wide temperature range: -40 degrees F to 260 degrees F

- 3-foot length allows field cutting to required segment size
Compatibility
Designed as an OEM-style replacement straight radiator hose for applications requiring a 3/4-inch inside diameter EPDM coolant hose rated to 150 psi and 260 degrees F.
Installation Notes
Installation is typically performed by automotive or fleet service technicians. Drain and depressurize the cooling system completely before removing any hose. Inspect hose clamps and fittings for corrosion or damage and replace as needed. Allow the engine to cool fully before handling coolant system components to avoid burns from residual heat or pressurized fluid.
