What is the difference between the inlet and outlet heater hoses?

The inlet hose carries hot coolant from the engine to the heater core to warm the cabin. The outlet hose carries the cooler coolant back from the heater core to the engine. This Gates hose is the inlet hose.

What material is this heater hose made of?

This hose is constructed from a heat-resistant EPDM rubber compound for both the inner tube and the outer cover. This material is chosen for its ability to withstand high temperatures and resist degradation from coolant.

Does this hose come with clamps?

This Gates heater hose does not include installation clamps. You will need to use appropriate heater hose clamps, which are sold separately, to secure the hose to the engine and heater core connections.

Product Details

This Gates molded heater inlet hose is specifically made for the 2012-2014 Honda CR-V with the 2.4L 4-cylinder engine. It's designed to connect your engine's cooling system to the heater core, allowing hot coolant to circulate and warm up your cabin. Because it's a molded hose, it follows the exact bends and curves of the original equipment, making installation straightforward and ensuring it won't kink or rub against other components.

Gates uses a heat-resistant EPDM rubber compound for the inner tube and cover, which is crucial for handling the high temperatures found in a vehicle's cooling system. This material also offers good resistance to coolant chemicals, helping the hose last longer. The reinforcement within the hose structure adds strength, preventing it from expanding under pressure and maintaining consistent coolant flow.

Replacing a heater hose is a good idea if you notice leaks around the connection points or if the hose itself looks cracked, swollen, or feels brittle. This part is the inlet hose, meaning it carries the hot coolant from the engine to the heater core. Make sure to check your vehicle's service manual for the correct replacement procedure and any specific tools or clamps you might need.
