Continental ContiTech™ Elite™ radiator hoses are designed to transfer glycol-based coolants to and from the radiator and through other components of the cooling system. This flexible radiator hose easily bends to replicate the form of the OE part and maintains full coolant flow. The EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) construction, synthetic knit reinforcement, and a wire insert give this hose the strength and resistance to collapse. EPDM is a quality synthetic rubber that effectively withstands heat, ozone, and chemical coolants. Every part is built to meet or exceed strict SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) standards that ensure the safety, quality, and effectiveness of products across the engineering industry.
