Product Details

Dayco Curved Radiator Hose 72454 is shaped for upper radiator coolant routing on the 2007-2010 Ford Edge and 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX with tow package. The EPDM rubber construction is suited for cooling-system temperatures and coolant exposure, while the branched layout supports the hose routing used in these vehicles. If you are replacing a worn upper coolant hose on a Ford Edge or Lincoln MKX, this part number 72454 matches the listed fitment and configuration.

This part cross-references Ford 7T4Z-8260-B for the same application.

Common Reasons for Replacement

  • Coolant seepage at the hose body or branch connection
  • Cracking, hardening, or swelling from age and heat cycling
  • Soft spots or collapse that restrict coolant flow
  • Visible wear on the upper radiator hose in tow-package vehicles
  • Loss of sealing at the radiator or engine connection points

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle is a 2007-2010 Ford Edge or 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX with tow package before ordering. Inspect the mating necks, clamps, and adjacent cooling components for corrosion or damage before installing Dayco 72454. Drain coolant as needed, route the hose to match the original curved layout, and confirm the protective sleeve is positioned correctly away from heat sources.

Quality Assurance

Dayco manufactures cooling-system hoses to published SAE specifications, including SAE J20R4 Class D-1 and SAE J1684 Type EC for this application. The part number 72454 is built for the listed upper radiator hose fitment on Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX models.
