Description

The CONTINENTAL CONTITECH 20016264 is a straight radiator hose designed for coolant transfer in heavy-duty and industrial cooling systems. Constructed from Versgard EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) compound, this hose handles elevated temperatures and pressures common in demanding engine cooling applications. It measures 3 feet in length with an inside diameter of 3.25 inches, and carries a maximum working pressure rating of 150 psi and a maximum temperature rating of 300 degrees F. The blue exterior aids visual identification during inspection. Licensed plumbers, fleet mechanics, and industrial equipment technicians are the typical installers.

This hose is suited for use in large-format cooling circuits where straight-run hose connections are required between the radiator and engine block or auxiliary heat exchanger. The 3.25-inch diameter makes it appropriate for heavy equipment, large diesel engines, agricultural machinery, and industrial cooling systems where standard automotive hose diameters are insufficient. The EPDM construction provides good resistance to coolant chemistry, ozone, and heat cycling over extended service intervals.

Key Features

Versgard EPDM construction for heat and coolant resistance up to 300 degrees F
Maximum working pressure of 150 psi for high-demand cooling circuits
Straight geometry for direct inline radiator-to-engine connections
3.25-inch inside diameter suited for large-bore cooling system plumbing
Blue color coding supports quick visual identification during maintenance
3-foot length allows direct installation or field trimming to fit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement straight radiator hose for large-bore cooling systems requiring a 3.25-inch inside diameter straight hose connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or equipment technician following the equipment manufacturer’s service procedures. Drain and depressurize the cooling system completely before removing any hose. Inspect clamp seats and mating fittings for corrosion or damage prior to installing the new hose. Torque hose clamps to the equipment manufacturer’s specification and verify there are no leaks before returning the system to service.
