Gates 24482 Premium Molded Coolant Hose Upper Radiator

The Gates 24482 is a premium molded coolant hose designed as a direct-fit upper radiator hose replacement. This factory-molded hose is manufactured to OEM specifications, providing reliable fitment and performance for cooling system applications.

Key Features:

• EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber construction with synthetic fiber knit reinforcement for superior durability
• Engineered to resist electrochemical degradation (ECD), the leading cause of coolant hose failure
• Temperature range: -40°F to +275°F (-40°C to +135°C) for reliable operation in extreme conditions
• Resistant to heat, ozone, and coolant deterioration for extended service life
• Pre-molded design ensures proper fit without unnecessary strain on connections
• May include integrated OEM components such as quick-connectors or branches depending on application

Gates coolant hoses are precision-engineered to exact manufacturer specifications, ensuring accurate fitment for modern engine compartments. The advanced EPDM compound resists the electrochemical reactions that cause micro-cracks and premature hose failure, delivering long-lasting performance you can trust. Gates recommends replacing hose clamps whenever installing a new coolant hose for optimal sealing and leak prevention.
