Dayco 72628 Radiator Coolant Hose - Upper

Dayco 72628 Curved Radiator Hose

Dayco 72628 is a branched radiator coolant hose built for upper cooling-system routing on select Jeep, Dodge, and Chrysler applications. Made from EPDM and finished in black, it follows the curved path needed for proper coolant flow in vehicles such as the Jeep Compass, Jeep Patriot, and Dodge Caliber.

The Dayco Curved Radiator Hose line is engineered for direct-fit cooling system service, with formed shapes that match the vehicle’s hose routing and help maintain a secure connection at the radiator and engine ends. This hose is identified by part number 72628.

Product Details

This radiator coolant hose is a formed upper hose for cooling-system routing where a straight hose will not match the factory path. The EPDM material is commonly used in coolant applications because it is suited to heat and fluid exposure, while the branched configuration supports the additional small-diameter connection shown in the fitment and dimensional data. Dayco 72628 is a direct replacement-style part for service on the Jeep Compass, Jeep Patriot, and Dodge Caliber upper cooling circuit.

This part cross-references Gates 23190 and NAPA 9915 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Cracked or split upper radiator hose
• Coolant leaks at a formed hose section
• Softening or swelling from age and heat cycling
• Incorrect hose routing after cooling-system repair
• Loss of proper coolant circulation through the upper hose path
