Detailed Product Description

The Dayco Curved Radiator Hose 71902 is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of Ford trucks, including the F-150, F-150 Heritage, and F-250. This branched radiator coolant hose features three connection points with inside diameters of 1 3/4 inches on both ends and 31/32 inch on the branch, allowing for precise integration into the vehicle's cooling system. The hose's outside diameters are 2 1/8 inches on both main ends, ensuring a secure fit with radiator and engine components.

Manufactured from EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber, this hose offers excellent resistance to heat, ozone, and coolant chemicals, which helps maintain durability and prevents premature failure.
