Question by: Jean R on Nov 22, 2025, 7:11 PM
Got a truck that needs a 5-inch coolant hose and the original keeps failing in hot weather. What's the temp range on this one, and is it actually rated for continuous use or just short bursts?
Answer by: Customer Support on Nov 24, 2025, 12:45 PM
Continuous service is exactly what this hose is built for. The operating range runs from -65°F up to 350°F, and that's a sustained rating, not a peak or intermittent figure. For a truck running hard in high-heat conditions, that ceiling gives you a solid margin above what most cooling systems will ever throw at it. The 4-ply silicone construction with polyester reinforcement also helps it hold up over time rather than softening or cracking the way some rubber hoses do after repeated heat cycles.
