• Constructed from high-quality EPDM material for heat and chemical resistance
• Branched hose design with multiple inside diameters for precise fitment
• Protective sleeve included for added durability
• Complies with SAE J20R4 Class D-1 and SAE J1684 Type EC specifications
• Compatible with Ford F-250 Super Duty and F-350 Super Duty vehicles

Detailed Product Description

The Dayco Curved Radiator Hose 72252 is a branched radiator coolant hose featuring four ends with specific inside diameters: two ends at 1 3/4 inches and two ends at 3/4 inches. The outside diameters correspond accordingly, ensuring a secure and leak-free connection within the cooling system. Made from EPDM, this hose offers resistance to heat, ozone, and coolant chemicals, which is critical for maintaining system integrity under high-temperature conditions. The inclusion of a protective sleeve enhances abrasion resistance, extending the hose's service life. This hose does not include a heat shield but meets stringent SAE standards, confirming its suitability for heavy-duty applications in Ford Super Duty trucks.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replaces worn or cracked radiator coolant hoses in Ford F-250 Super Duty and F-350 Super Duty
• Addresses coolant leaks caused by hose degradation or improper fit
• Prevents overheating issues related to compromised coolant flow
• Eliminates hose collapse or swelling under pressure and heat
• Restores proper coolant circulation in branched hose configurations

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the engine is cool before beginning installation to avoid burns or injury. Verify that the hose diameters match the vehicle’s radiator and engine fittings. Remove old hose clamps and hoses carefully to prevent damage to adjoining components. Use new clamps to secure the Dayco Curved Radiator Hose 72252 firmly in place. Inspect the protective sleeve for proper positioning to avoid abrasion during operation. After installation, check for leaks and proper coolant flow during engine warm-up.
