Detailed Product Description

This radiator coolant hose is made from EPDM, a synthetic rubber known for its excellent resistance to heat, ozone, and automotive fluids. The molded construction ensures the hose maintains its shape and fits securely between cooling system components. With end diameters of 1.19 inches (30 mm) and 1.31 inches (33 mm), and a centerline length of 21.47 inches (545 mm), the hose is designed to match the specific routing and connection points in the Ford Escape. The absence of an internal spring allows for unobstructed coolant flow, contributing to efficient engine temperature regulation.

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the engine is cool before removing the old hose to prevent burns. Verify that the hose routing matches the original to avoid interference with other engine components. Use appropriate clamps to secure the hose ends firmly without over-tightening, which could damage the hose. Inspect adjacent components for wear or damage during installation.
