1. Producte acabatview
The Continental 58982 Radiator Hose Reducer is designed to facilitate a proper fit between a radiator hose and a connection point when the hose's inner diameter is larger than required. These rubber reducers are inserted into the hose to decrease its effective inner diameter, ensuring a secure and leak-free connection. The integrated flange prevents the reducer from slipping further into the hose, allowing for the use of standard worm gear clamps.
Característiques principals:
- Precision engineered for reliable performance.
- Maintains optimal fluid flow within the cooling system.
- Constructed from high heat-resistant material for durability.
- Highly durable design ensures long service life.
- Ensures maximum performance of the cooling system connection.

3. Instruccions d'instal·lació
3.1. Precaucions de seguretat
- Always ensure the engine is cool before working on the cooling system to prevent burns from hot coolant or engine components.
- Utilitzeu l'equip de protecció individual adequat, incloent-hi ulleres i guants de seguretat.
- Refer to your vehicle's service manual for specific instructions regarding coolant drainage and hose removal.
- Elimineu el refrigerant vell de manera responsable d'acord amb la normativa local.
3.2. Eines necessàries
- Mànega clamp pliers or screwdriver (depending on clamp tipus)
- Safata de drenatge del refrigerant
- New coolant (if draining the system)
- Draps nets
3.3. Instal·lació pas a pas
- Preparar el vehicle: Ensure the engine is completely cool. Place a drain pan under the radiator and drain the coolant as per your vehicle's service manual.
- Traieu la mànega: Afluixeu la mànega clamps at both ends of the radiator hose that requires the reducer. Carefully twist and pull the hose off the connection points.
- Inspect the Hose and Connection: Clean the inside of the hose and the connection point to remove any debris or residue. Ensure both surfaces are smooth and free of damage.
- Insert the Reducer: Select a Continental 58982 Radiator Hose Reducer. Insert the reducer into the end of the radiator hose that will connect to the smaller diameter fitting. Push the reducer in until its flange rests against the end of the hose. The flange is designed to prevent the reducer from slipping too far into the hose.
- Reattach the Hose: Slide the hose, with the reducer inserted, back onto the smaller diameter connection point. Ensure the hose is fully seated.
- Assegureu-vos amb Clamps: Col·loqueu la mànega clamp over the hose and reducer, ensuring it is centered over the connection point. Tighten the clamp securely to prevent leaks. Repeat for the other end of the hose if it was also removed.
- Recàrrega de refrigerant: Refill the cooling system with the appropriate coolant type and quantity as specified by your vehicle manufacturer.
- Purgar aire: Start the engine and allow it to reach operating temperature. Monitor the coolant level and bleed any trapped air from the system as necessary. Check for leaks around the newly installed reducer and hose clamps.

4. Funcionament
Once properly installed, the Continental 58982 Radiator Hose Reducer operates passively within the cooling system. Its function is to maintain a tight, leak-free seal between a radiator hose and a connection point of a smaller diameter. The reducer ensures that coolant flows efficiently without bypass or pressure loss at the connection, contributing to the overall effectiveness of the vehicle's cooling system.
5. Manteniment
The radiator hose reducer itself requires minimal maintenance. However, regular inspection of the cooling system is recommended:
- Inspecció periòdica: Annually or during routine vehicle maintenance, inspect the radiator hose and the reducer for any signs of wear, cracking, hardening, or leaks.
- Clamp Estancament: Comproveu que la mànega clamps remain tight and secure. Overtightening can damage the hose or reducer, while loose clamps poden provocar fuites.
- Coolant Compatibility: Ensure that the coolant used in your vehicle is compatible with rubber components to prevent premature degradation of the reducer.
- Substitució: If the reducer shows any signs of damage or degradation, replace it immediately to prevent cooling system failures.
6. Solució De Problemes
If you encounter issues after installing the radiator hose reducer, consider the following:
| Problema | Causa possible | Solució |
|---|---|---|
| Coolant Leak at Connection | Mànega soltaamp, damaged reducer, incorrect reducer size, damaged hose. | Apretar clamp, inspect and replace reducer/hose if damaged, ensure correct reducer is used. |
| Hose Slipping Off Connection | Insuficient clamp tightness, improper reducer installation (flange not seated). | Torna a apretar el clamp, ensure reducer flange is correctly seated against the hose end. |
| sobreescalfament del motor | Air trapped in cooling system, low coolant level, other cooling system issues. | Bleed air from system, check coolant level, inspect entire cooling system for other faults. |
