Gates 05-23 Toyota Tacoma 4-Cyl. 2.7L Connector To Eng. Molded Heater Hose

This Gates molded heater hose is built with a heat-resistant EPDM rubber cover, which helps it stand up to the high temperatures found under the hood. It's specifically shaped to connect the heater core to the engine on your 2005-2016 Toyota Tacoma with the 2.7L 4-cylinder engine. Replacing a cracked or leaking heater hose is important because it prevents coolant loss, which can lead to overheating and serious engine damage. This hose is designed to fit right, making installation straightforward.

Gates uses a reinforced construction with polyester yarn to give this hose the strength it needs to handle constant pressure from the cooling system. The EPDM rubber material is also resistant to ozone and coolant degradation, so you can expect it to last. This hose is the connector hose, meaning it's the specific piece that goes between the heater core outlet and the engine's coolant passage.
