Gates 12275 Molded Heater Hose - Tee to Connector

The Gates 12275 is a premium molded heater hose designed for precise fitment in vehicle heating and cooling systems. This pre-formed hose connects from the tee junction to the connector, eliminating the need for cutting and fitting straight hose around complex engine bay routing.

Key Features:

• Molded design for exact OEM-quality fit and routing
• EPDM tube and cover construction for superior durability
• Synthetic fiber knit reinforcement for strength under pressure
• Engineered to resist electrochemical degradation (ECD), the leading cause of heater hose failure
• Temperature range: -40°F to +275°F (-40°C to +135°C)
• Meets SAE 20R3 Type EC Class D-1 and D-2 specifications
• Resistant to most coolants and non-oil based coolant additives
• Handles high cooling system pressures without degradation

Gates heater hoses are manufactured to OEM specifications, providing a reliable replacement that saves time and money compared to dealer parts. The molded construction ensures proper fit and eliminates installation guesswork. Gates recommends replacing hose clamps each time a new coolant hose is installed for optimal sealing performance.
