Continental 62741 Radiator Coolant Hose - Upper

Continental Radiator Coolant Hose Overview

Continental 62741 is a molded radiator coolant hose built for vehicles that use a 1.250-inch hose connection and an 18.470-inch formed length. It transfers glycol-based coolant through the cooling system while maintaining an exact OEM-style shape for proper routing and fit.

Compatible With 2015-2017 Ford Mustang upper hose applications, 2006-2009 Chevrolet Equinox upper hose applications, and 2006-2009 Pontiac Torrent upper hose applications. The Continental Molded line focuses on direct-fit cooling system replacement parts, and this hose follows that approach with a formed profile that matches the original configuration.
