952968 Hose | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta rubber cooling hose with a 12.7 mm internal diameter and a 20.6 mm external diameter - the smallest bore of the five hoses in this group. It weighs 0.181 kg, is listed for 53 applications across AD, D, TMD, MS, BB and HS series engines and drives and supersedes 943416, catalogued earlier simply as a rubber hose. Volvo Penta rubber hoses are made specifically for the engine's cooling system and are built to take both suction and pressure. This is the size named as the recommended domestic supply hose on a hot water outlet installation, with stainless steel clips 961665. Bore is what separates it from the hoses listed alongside: 952969 is 16 mm, 952970 is 19 mm and 952972 is 25.4 mm.

🔌 Function

Provides the flexible link between two rigid pipe or spigot connections, taking up engine movement and vibration that a solid pipe could not absorb.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Weeping or dripping at one or both hose ends
• Rubber gone hard and glazed, cracking when it is flexed
• Soft, spongy or ballooned sections along the run
• The clamp has bitten into the wall or will no longer hold pressure
• Inner lining breaking down and shedding debris into the system

🛠️ Service Notes

• Renew the clips with the hose - an old clamp seldom re-seats cleanly on fresh rubber, and 961665 is the clip listed for this size
• Check the spigots for pitting or scoring first; a corroded spigot will weep whatever hose is fitted to it
• Recommended stainless steel hose clip for this size is 961665
