Description
Overview:
This Heater Hose 13mm x 20m is a flexible, coolant‐resistant rubber hose for moving engine coolant between radiators, intercoolers, heater matrices and pipework. The internal diameter is 13 mm (commonly referred to as 1/2 inch ≈ 12.7 mm), supplied in a 20‐metre continuous length for hassle‐free routing and cutting to size. Built from durable black rubber, it performs from -40°C to 100°C, making it suitable for year‐round use in UK conditions. Ideal for cars, vans, 4x4s and liquid‐cooled plant, agricultural and garden machinery, it helps maintain stable engine temperatures and reliable cabin heating. Suitable for use with standard hose clips and barbed fittings. Manufacturer reference: 605 090.
Key Features:
- 13 mm internal diameter (1/2 inch ≈ 12.7 mm) for common automotive and machinery fittings
- 20 m continuous length reduces joints and potential leak points
- Wide temperature range: -40°C to 100°C for cold starts and hot running
- Coolant‐resistant rubber for long service life with glycol‐based coolants
- Flexible construction for routing through tight engine bays and around bends
- Cut‐to‐length: trim with a sharp blade for an exact fit on site
- Compatible with standard hose clips and barbed connectors for straightforward fitting
- Suitable for radiator feeds/returns, heater circuits and intercooler auxiliary lines
- Smooth outer for easy clamping and secure sealing when correctly installed
- Black, utility finish suited to automotive, plant and general workshop environments
Typical Applications:
Used for engine cooling and heating circuits on cars, vans, light commercial vehicles, compact tractors, generators and other liquid‐cooled plant or garden machinery. Common uses include replacing perished heater hoses, creating custom coolant runs during engine swaps, connecting remote heaters or heat exchangers, and carrying water‐glycol coolant between radiators, intercoolers and heater matrices.
