Product Details

The Gates 18286 is a factory-molded small I.D. heater hose engineered as a direct OE-replacement coolant hose. Constructed from EPDM rubber with synthetic fiber knit reinforcement, this hose is pre-shaped to fit precisely, ensuring a leak-free seal without unnecessary strain on fittings or connections.

Key Features:

  • EPDM construction — resists heat, ozone, and chemical coolants for long service life
  • Engineered to resist electrochemical degradation (ECD) — the leading cause of coolant hose failure
  • Centerline length: 20-3/16 in. (513 mm)
  • Inside diameter (both ends): 5/16 in. (8 mm)
  • Molded design — factory pre-shaped to ensure a precise OE-style fit in tight engine compartments
  • Temperature range: -40°F to +275°F (-40°C to +135°C)
  • Meets SAE 20R3 Type EC Class D-1 and D-2 specifications
  • No quick-connect fittings required — simplifies installation
  • Suitable for coolant, water, and air applications; also approved for marine use
  • Sold individually

Gates recommends replacing hose clamps each time a new coolant hose is installed. Note: Not intended for fuel or oil transfer applications. Backed by Gates' reputation as a leading OE-quality parts manufacturer trusted by vehicle manufacturers worldwide.
