Continental EPDM Windshield Washer Hose 50ft Black 65112 Model

Description

Product Overview

Continental, a trusted name in automotive fluid management, presents its EPDM windshield washer hose designed for original equipment and aftermarket replacements. This 50‑foot (15.24 m) black hose features a 5.6 mm (7/32″) inner diameter and a 9.6 mm outer diameter, delivering a robust 50 psi working pressure. Constructed from high‑quality EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber, the tubing resists ozone, UV exposure, and a wide temperature range from –40°F (–40°C) to 257°F (125°C). The hose is supplied on a 50‑inch spool, making installation straightforward for both professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts. Its lightweight design (1.9 lb) and flexible nature allow easy routing through tight engine bays while maintaining structural integrity.

Usage

This hose is engineered for a variety of automotive fluid transport tasks. It excels in windshield wiper systems, delivering a steady flow of washer fluid to the nozzles for clear visibility in rain or snow. Additionally, it is suitable for connecting washer fluid reservoirs, wet‑arm wiper tubing, radiator overflow tanks, and even vacuum lines where EPDM’s chemical resistance is required. The hose’s temperature tolerance makes it ideal for both cold‑climate regions, where fluids can freeze, and hot‑climate environments, where engine heat can degrade lesser materials. Whether you are restoring a classic vehicle, performing routine maintenance, or upgrading a high‑performance car, this hose meets the demands of modern automotive applications.
