Gates 52076 Modular Molded Coolant Hose Branched 5/16" x 11/16" x 15 3/4"

The Gates 52076 is a precision-engineered modular molded coolant hose designed for heater inlet applications requiring a branched configuration. This OEM-quality replacement hose features dual diameters (5/16" and 11/16") with an overall length of 15 3/4", and comes equipped with an integrated female quick connector and protective sleeve for reliable, leak-free installation.

Key Features:

• EPDM tube construction with synthetic fiber knit reinforcement and heat-resistant EPDM cover
• Engineered to resist electrochemical degradation (ECD), the leading cause of coolant hose failure
• Factory-molded branched design eliminates the need for multiple hoses and connections
• Integrated female quick connector ensures fast, secure installation without additional clamps
• Protective sleeve guards against abrasion and heat damage in tight engine compartments
• Temperature range: -40°F to +275°F (-40°C to +135°C)
• Meets SAE 20R3 EC Class D1 specifications for small diameter coolant hoses
• Resistant to heat, ozone, and modern chemical coolants

Gates Modular Coolant Hoses are manufactured to OEM specifications and include essential integrated components such as branches, quick-connectors, sensors, and restrictors. The advanced EPDM compound resists vacuum collapse and provides superior durability compared to standard rubber hoses. Gates recommends replacing hose clamps each time a new coolant hose is installed for optimal performance.
