Continental 60997 Radiator Coolant Hose - Lower
Continental Molded Radiator Coolant Hose 60997
Continental 60997 is a molded radiator coolant hose built for lower hose applications in classic Ford trucks. It uses an EPDM tube and cover with synthetic reinforcement to handle glycol-based coolant flow through the cooling system while matching the original hose shape for accurate routing.
Key Features
- EPDM tube and cover for coolant-system service
- Synthetic reinforcement meets or exceeds SAE 20R4EC Class D1 specifications
- Exact OEM configuration for a precise fit
- 2.000 in. inside diameter at both ends
- 16.380 in. overall length
- Molded lower radiator hose design
Product Details
This Continental molded radiator coolant hose is engineered for direct replacement use in Ford F-100, Ford F-150, Ford F-250, and Ford F-350 lower hose applications. Part number 60997 follows the original molded layout to help maintain proper hose routing and coolant flow in the vehicle’s cooling system. It cross-references Gates 21047 for the same application.
Compatible With 1968-1976 Ford F-100, lower; 1970-1971 Ford F-100, lower; 1975-1976 Ford F-150, lower; 1968-1976 Ford F-250, lower; 1970-1971 Ford F-250, lower; 1968-1976 Ford F-350, lower; and 1970-1971 Ford F-350, lower. Use the exact vehicle year and radiator configuration to confirm the correct lower hose before installation.
Common Cooling System Issues
- Cracked or hardened lower radiator hose
- Coolant leaks at the hose body or connection points
- Restricted coolant circulation from a deteriorated hose
- Improper hose routing caused by a non-molded replacement
- Fitment problems on original-style Ford cooling systems
Installation Notes
Inspect the radiator neck, water pump inlet, and clamps before installation. Verify the hose orientation matches the molded shape of the original part and confirm the application is not equipped with an HD radiator where excluded by fitment notes. Check hose diameter and length against the existing hose and route it without twisting.
Quality Assurance
Continental builds this hose to meet or exceed SAE 20R4EC Class D1 specifications, with an OEM-style configuration intended to match the original fit and function for the listed Ford truck applications.
