Product Details

Dayco’s Curved Radiator Hose line focuses on application-specific hose routing and fitment for cooling-system service. For the Mazda CX-7, part number 72986 follows the upper hose path and uses a dual inside-diameter design to match the connection points called out for this vehicle. The hose measures 17 1/2 in. in trunk height and includes a protective sleeve to help guard the hose surface where routing or nearby components create added wear.

Use Dayco 72986 when replacing a worn upper radiator hose on 2007-2012 Mazda CX-7 models. The EPDM material is selected for coolant exposure, while the curved profile supports a direct replacement for the original hose shape on the Mazda CX-7 cooling system.

Common Cooling System Issues

  • Cracked or hardened upper radiator hose material
  • Coolant seepage at the hose connection points
  • Swelling, soft spots, or hose collapse under operating temperature
  • Wear from engine-bay contact where a protective sleeve is needed
  • Loss of proper coolant flow through the upper hose route

Installation Notes

Verify the hose routing and end diameters before installation on your Mazda CX-7. Inspect the radiator necks, clamps, and adjoining cooling components for wear or corrosion before installing Dayco 72986. Confirm the hose is seated fully at both ends and routed without twist or tension.

Quality Assurance

Dayco manufactures this radiator coolant hose to published SAE specifications for cooling-system service. Part number 72986 is built for the upper hose position on 2007-2012 Mazda CX-7 applications and is intended to match the original hose form and connection sizes for that vehicle.
