Detailed Product Description

The Dayco Curved Radiator Hose line focuses on delivering hoses that maintain coolant system integrity under various operating conditions. The 72082 part is a single inside diameter hose made from EPDM, a synthetic rubber known for its resistance to heat, ozone, and coolant chemicals. Both ends of the hose have an inside diameter of 1 1/4 inches, ensuring a secure connection to the radiator and engine components. This hose does not include a heat shield or protective sleeve, which is typical for applications where additional external protection is not required. The trunk height of 30 provides the necessary curvature and length for proper routing in the engine bay of compatible vehicles.
