The BT8-5420 Blue EPDM Heater Hose is designed for compatible heater and coolant hose applications.
It is a 3/4 in. blue heater hose for engine coolant and heater circuits.
This hose is associated with 3/4 in. bulk EPDM heater hose references, including Gates 28402, Goodyear Hi-Miler 3/4, and Continental 65009.
However, many common reference listings describe black EPDM heater hose, while the BTRAC hose is blue.
As a result, compare color, markings, hose size, and construction before treating cross references as exact replacements.
Function and Performance
A heater hose carries engine coolant between the engine, heater core, and related cooling system components.
It supports cab heat and coolant circulation in compatible systems.
The BT8-5420 is listed as a blue EPDM heater / coolant hose.
It is associated with a temperature range of approximately -40°F to 257°F.
The hose is also associated with specifications similar to SAE J20R3.
Because hose fitment depends on size, routing, coolant compatibility, and clamp or fitting style, compare your current hose before ordering.
Durability and Design
The BT8-5420 uses EPDM heater hose construction.
The BTRAC hose is blue, so it should not be described as black hose in customer-facing copy.
The supplied specifications list two-spiral synthetic textile reinforcement.
This construction supports water and glycol-based engine coolant applications.
The supplied data also lists a 200 PSI burst pressure and an estimated weight of approximately 0.24 lb per foot.
Installation
Install this hose according to the vehicle, equipment, or cooling system service procedure.
Before installation, confirm hose size, routing, bend requirements, clamp style, and coolant compatibility.
Cut the hose cleanly to the required length.
Then install it with the correct clamps or fittings.
After installation, inspect for leaks and confirm proper coolant level according to the equipment service procedure.
