Curved Upper Radiator Hose for Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX

Dayco Curved Radiator Hose 72453 is a black EPDM coolant hose built for upper radiator hose applications. It is shaped for the engine bay routing used on select Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX models, with a 1 1/2-inch inside diameter at both ends and a protective sleeve for added abrasion resistance.

Compatible With 2007-2015 Ford Edge and 2007-2015 Lincoln MKX upper radiator hose applications, this Dayco hose is made to match the routing and connection size required for the listed vehicles. Dayco 72453 is also cross-referenced to Ford 7T4Z-8260-A for the same application.

  • Black finish for a factory-style appearance
  • 1 1/2-inch inside diameter at both ends
  • Single I.D. hose design for upper radiator routing
  • Protective sleeve included for added surface protection

  • Dayco part number 72453

Product Details

This curved radiator hose is engineered for upper coolant routing on the Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX. The EPDM rubber construction is suited for hot coolant exposure, while the curved profile helps follow the original hose path in the engine compartment. The protective sleeve adds an extra layer where the hose may contact nearby components. Dayco 72453 is a direct-fit style replacement for 2011-2015 Ford Edge upper radiator hose and 2011-2015 Lincoln MKX upper radiator hose applications, and it also covers 2007-2010 models without the tow package.

What It Helps Address

  • Cracked or aged upper radiator hose material
  • Coolant leaks at the hose body or connection points
  • Improper hose routing after hose replacement
  • Heat-related wear from engine bay contact points
  • Loss of cooling-system integrity on Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, make, model, and upper hose routing before installation. Confirm the 1 1/2-inch end diameters match the original hose connections and inspect clamps, necks, and adjoining cooling-system parts for wear before reassembly. This hose is listed for 2011-2015 Ford Edge upper radiator hose and 2011-2015 Lincoln MKX upper radiator hose applications, plus 2007-2010 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX without tow package.

Quality Assurance

Dayco manufactures this hose to SAE J20R4 Class D-1 and SAE J1684 Type EC requirements for radiator coolant hose service. The part number is 72453.
