If you're dealing with heater hose issues or just doing routine cooling system maintenance, this Safety Stripe heater hose is exactly what you need. The 6-foot length gives you plenty of material to work with, whether you're replacing a single section or doing multiple hoses. The EPDM rubber construction is seriously durable - it handles high cooling system pressures without issue and stands up to most coolants and non-oil-based additives without deteriorating. The temperature range is impressive too: from -40°F all the way up to +257°F, so it works perfectly in both freezing winter conditions and hot summer operation. The safety stripe design makes it easy to identify as heater hose rather than fuel line or other hoses, which is always helpful when you're working in a crowded engine bay. It meets SAE 20R3 Standard Wall Class D-2 requirements, so you know it's built to proper automotive standards. The packaging is convenient too - reusable and recyclable, and it can be displayed on pegboards if you're a shop. Just remember - this is specifically for coolant applications in cars and light trucks, not for heavy-duty equipment (they make a Green Stripe version for that) and definitely NOT for fuel or oil transfer. Whether you're fixing a leak, doing preventative maintenance, or building a project car, this quality heater hose gets the job done right.
