Gates 24804 Premium Molded Coolant Hose Curved Radiator Hose

The Gates 24804 Premium Molded Coolant Hose is a factory pre-shaped, curved radiator hose engineered to OEM-quality specifications for a precise, leak-free fit in the cooling system. Designed as a direct replacement for upper, lower, bypass, heater, and other coolant hose applications, it delivers reliable performance straight out of the box with no trimming or manipulation required.

Key Features:

• EPDM Construction: Features an EPDM tube, synthetic fiber knit reinforcement, and a heat- and ozone-resistant EPDM cover for long-lasting durability
• Electrochemical Degradation Resistance: Specifically engineered compound resists ECD — the leading cause of premature hose failure — preventing micro-cracks and coolant seepage
• Vacuum Collapse Resistance: Re-engineered materials resist vacuum collapse, reducing the need for internal support springs in most applications
• Wide Temperature Range: Rated for -40°F to +275°F (-40°C to +135°C), handling extreme under-hood heat and cold-start conditions
• SAE Certified: Meets SAE 20R4 EC Class D1 requirements for premium coolant hose performance
• Pre-Shaped Fit: Factory-molded curved design ensures a perfect fit and properly sealed connections without modification
• Marine Approved: Approved for use in marine cooling system applications in addition to automotive use

Gates recommends replacing hose clamps each time a new coolant hose is installed to ensure a fully sealed, reliable cooling system repair.
