Dayco 80268 Molded Heater Hose EPDM Small I.D. OE Replacement

The Dayco 80268 is a precision-molded heater hose engineered as a direct OE replacement for your vehicle's coolant circuit. Designed to route heated coolant between the engine block and the heater core, this molded hose matches the exact bends and routing of the original equipment assembly for a precise, leak-free fit.

Key Features:

• EPDM Construction: Synthetic EPDM rubber provides high-strength performance and superior resistance to oil, mud, salt, road debris, ozone, and common coolants
• Knitted Rayon Reinforcement: The inner base tube is reinforced with knitted rayon for maximum burst strength and long service life
• Wide Temperature Range: Rated for continuous service from -40°F (-40°C) to +257°F (+125°C)
• SAE Compliant: Meets SAE J20R3, Class D-1 requirements and Type EC electro-chemical requirements per SAE J1684, preventing inner tube deterioration from static electric charge buildup
• OE-Matched Molded Shape: Pre-formed bends eliminate the need for multiple straight hose sections, clamps, and connectors
• Compatible with All Common Coolants: Works with standard antifreeze formulations and coolant additives

The Dayco 80268 molded heater hose delivers a factory-correct fit without cutting or modification, making installation straightforward and reliable. It is not intended for fuel or oil transfer applications.
