Dayco 72388 Radiator Coolant Hose - Lower - Tee To Reservoir

Dayco 72388 Curved Radiator Hose Overview

Dayco 72388 is a curved radiator coolant hose built for the lower tee-to-reservoir routing on select Ford, Mercury, and Lincoln vehicles. This dual I.D. hose uses EPDM construction and follows the OE-style path needed for proper coolant transfer in the engine cooling system.

Compatible With 2006-2009 Ford Fusion, lower - tee to reservoir; 2006-2009 Mercury Milan, lower - tee to reservoir; and 2006 Lincoln Zephyr, lower - tee to reservoir. The Dayco Curved Radiator Hose line is engineered for vehicle-specific cooling system routing where a formed hose shape is required.

Common Issues This Hose Can Address

• Cracked or split coolant hose material
• Coolant leaks at the lower tee-to-reservoir routing
• Softening or deterioration from heat and age
• Incorrect hose shape or diameter at the connection points
• Restricted coolant flow caused by a damaged hose

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, make, model, and lower tee-to-reservoir routing before installation. Compare the hose shape and end diameters to the removed part to confirm proper routing on the Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, or Lincoln Zephyr application. Inspect adjoining clamps, tees, and reservoir connections for wear before reassembly.

Quality Assurance

Dayco 72388 is built to SAE J20R4 Class D-1 and SAE J1684 Type EC specifications for radiator coolant hose service. The EPDM construction and OE-style formed shape support consistent fitment in the listed cooling system applications.
