Dayco 71941 Curved Radiator Hose EPDM Rubber

The Dayco 71941 is a precision-molded curved radiator hose designed for light vehicle cooling system applications. This branched hose features premium EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber construction with knitted rayon reinforcement for superior strength and durability.

Key Features:

• EPDM rubber construction provides excellent resistance to coolants, oil, mud, salt, road debris, and ozone
• Knitted rayon reinforcement in the inner base tube delivers maximum burst resistance and long service life
• Meets SAE J20R4 Class D-1 and SAE J1684 Type EC specifications for electro-chemical resistance
• Operates reliably in temperature ranges from -40°F to +257°F (-40°C to +125°C)
• Branched hose design with multiple connection points for complex cooling system routing
• Approximately 15 inches in overall length with varying internal diameters at connection points

This molded hose is engineered to OE specifications and cross-references to multiple Ford part numbers including F6ZZ-8286-A, F7ZZ-8286-BA, and XR3Z-8286-AA, as well as aftermarket equivalents like Gates 22249, ACDelco 22325M, and NAPA 8889. The Type EC electro-chemical rating prevents premature deterioration of the inner tube caused by static electric charge buildup in modern cooling systems.
