Dayco 72580 Radiator Coolant Hose - Upper

Dayco 72580 Curved Radiator Hose for F-150

The Dayco 72580 is a curved radiator coolant hose built for upper cooling-system routing on select Ford trucks. It uses EPDM construction for coolant resistance and includes a protective sleeve to help manage underhood wear in exposed areas.

Compatible With 2011-2014 Ford F-150 upper radiator hose applications, this curved hose is shaped for the factory-style coolant path and is identified by part number 72580.

Key Features

• EPDM rubber construction for radiator coolant service
• Black finish for a clean OE-style appearance
• Single I.D. hose design with 1 7/16 in. inside diameter at both ends
• Protective sleeve included for added abrasion protection
• Built to SAE J20R4 Class D-1 and SAE J1684 Type EC specifications
• Curved radiator hose layout for upper cooling-system routing

Product Details

Dayco Curved Radiator Hose 72580 is engineered as a replacement upper coolant hose for the 2011-2014 Ford F-150. The EPDM hose material is commonly used in cooling-system service because it is formulated for heat and coolant exposure, while the curved profile supports the original hose path in the engine bay. The protective sleeve adds an extra layer where the hose may contact nearby components or experience additional wear. This part cross-references Ford BL3Z-8260-A for the same application.

What This Hose Helps Address

• Coolant leakage from a cracked or aged upper radiator hose
• Softening, swelling, or deterioration from heat and coolant exposure
• Chafing or abrasion on the hose exterior
• Loss of proper coolant flow due to hose collapse or deformation
• Fitment issues when replacing the upper hose on a 2011-2014 Ford F-150

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the hose routing, end diameters, and upper-position fitment before installation. Inspect hose clamps, mating necks, and nearby components for corrosion, residue, or damage before transferring the new hose into service. Confirm the hose follows the original curved path without twisting so the protective sleeve stays positioned where it is needed.

Quality Assurance

Dayco manufactures cooling-system hoses to meet published SAE specifications, including SAE J20R4 Class D-1 and SAE J1684 Type EC for this application. Use this part number 72580 when sourcing a replacement upper radiator hose for the 2011-2014 Ford F-150.
