Dayco 71696 Curved Radiator Coolant Hose

The Dayco 71696 is a factory-molded curved radiator hose designed to deliver OE-quality performance for modern automotive cooling systems. This precision-engineered hose provides a direct-fit replacement solution for maintaining optimal engine temperature and preventing coolant system failures.

Advanced Construction:

• Manufactured with synthetic EPDM rubber compounds for superior resistance to ozone, coolants, and temperature variations from -40°F (-40°C) to +257°F (+125°C)
• Inner base tube reinforced with knitted rayon for maximum strength and burst resistance throughout the hose's service life
• Factory-molded design ensures proper fit in tight engine compartments
• Engineered to resist electrochemical degradation, the leading cause of radiator hose failure

Quality Standards:

• Meets SAE J20R4, Class D-1 requirements for improved service performance
• Complies with SAE J20R3 Type EC specifications for electrochemical resistance
• Meets Type EC electro-chemical requirements as specified in SAE J1684, preventing inner tube deterioration from static electric charge buildup

Cross-Reference Numbers: Replaces Gates 20893, ACDelco 26030X, GM 10132577, GM 10256243, Goodyear 62053, NAPA 7620, and Duralast E71696.

Backed by Dayco's legacy of over 115 years in automotive parts manufacturing, this radiator hose delivers the durability and reliability required for long-lasting cooling system performance.
