Detailed Product Features and Specifications

The Dayco Curved Radiator Hose line focuses on delivering precise fitment and durability for radiator coolant systems. This particular hose, part number 71497, is a branched hose constructed from EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber, known for its excellent resistance to heat, ozone, and coolant chemicals. The hose features three distinct inside diameters—1 3/16 inches, 1 11/32 inches, and 3/8 inches—allowing it to connect multiple points within the cooling system efficiently. It does not include a heat shield or protective sleeve, which is typical for this type of radiator hose. The trunk height measures 14 inches, providing the necessary length for proper routing in compatible Volvo models.
