Gates Premium Molded Heater Hose Small I.D. EPDM Coolant Hose

The Gates Premium Molded Heater Hose is a small inside diameter EPDM coolant hose. It is also called a molded heater hose, radiator heater hose or coolant hose. It is designed to carry engine coolant between the engine and the heater core in a vehicle's heating and cooling system.

Key Features:

• EPDM construction: The synthetic rubber resists heat, ozone, weathering and coolant exposure, which helps it last in demanding under-hood conditions.
• Molded shape: The pre-formed curves follow the routing the hose needs, which helps prevent kinking and makes installation easier than bending straight hose.
• Small I.D. design: It is intended for heater circuits that use a smaller inside diameter.
• Reinforced build: Internal reinforcement helps the hose handle system pressure and temperature cycling.
• Gates quality: Gates is a long-established maker of belts, hoses and thermal management components.

This hose helps keep coolant flowing to the heater core so the cabin heats and the defroster works reliably. Replacing a worn heater hose also helps prevent leaks and coolant loss that can lead to overheating.
