Question 2012 NC700X DCT Radiator hose internal diameter

[decruz0415]

Hello everyone, I've been trying to find out the internal diameter for the radiator hoses and haven't found anything yet.

Any idea?

Thank you all.

...Any idea?

Yes, measure the pipe the hose is connected to. A caliper can be helpful.

Thank you, yeah I thought of this but I'm trying to avoid having to waste some coolant to get an accurate measurement.

I believe he is suggesting to move the hose back without disconnecting to measure the pipe that goes into the hose. If coolant loss is a concern a pan could be used for collection. I'm sorry I don't know the actual sizes. I don't have a valve check on the horizon when measuring this would be convenient.

You may not have an accurate I.D. measurement of the rubber hose of this NC radiator. Most likely, the rubber hose after removal from the radiator will not have a round internal shape. There will be an oval. Besides, rubber is relatively soft and flexible. It's not easy to measure. The size of such a hose is certainly not standard. The designers don't worry about such things because the dimensions result from the need for this cooling system.
Why not buy an original radiator hose? They are still available and relatively inexpensive for all generations of NC/CTX?

Didn't think of this, thank you so much, totally misunderstood, will try to do this.
