Gates Branched Radiator Hose

The Gates Branched Radiator Hose is a molded coolant hose with a built-in branch. It is also called a Y-style or T-style radiator hose. The branch lets one hose carry coolant to a second circuit, such as a heater, bypass or overflow line. This can mean fewer separate hoses and fewer connection points in the cooling system.

Key Features:

• Molded branched design that is built to hold its shape and route cleanly in the engine bay
• Reinforced construction made to handle engine heat, system pressure and vibration
• Rubber compound formulated to resist coolant, ozone, oil and general under-hood wear
• Engineered for a precise, leak-resistant fit at the connection points
• Backed by Gates, a respected name in belts, hoses and cooling system components

A worn or swollen radiator hose can cause leaks, overheating and breakdowns. Replacing it with a quality branched hose helps restore reliable coolant flow and supports long-term cooling system performance. Many installers replace clamps and coolant at the same time as the hose.
