What is the main purpose of the upper radiator hose?

The upper radiator hose carries hot coolant from the engine to the radiator for cooling. It's a critical part of your vehicle's temperature regulation system.

What material is this hose made from?

This Gates coolant hose is made from a heat-resistant EPDM rubber compound for both the inner tube and the outer cover, designed to withstand high engine temperatures.

Should I replace anything else when I replace the upper radiator hose?

It's often a good time to inspect and potentially replace other cooling system parts like the thermostat, radiator cap, and lower radiator hose, especially if they are original or showing signs of wear.

Product Details

When you're tackling a cooling system service on your 2012-2015 Honda Civic with the 1.8L engine, replacing the upper radiator hose is often a smart move. Over time, these hoses can become brittle, crack, or swell, leading to coolant leaks and potential overheating issues. This molded hose from Gates is built to fit your specific Civic, ensuring a straightforward replacement.

Gates uses a heat-resistant EPDM rubber compound for the inner tube and cover, which is crucial for handling the high temperatures and pressures found in your engine's cooling system. The hose is constructed with reinforcement layers to help it maintain its shape and resist collapse, even under demanding conditions. Because it's a molded hose, it has the correct bends and contours to match the factory original, making installation much easier than trying to force a universal hose into place.

This part is designed to be a direct fit for your vehicle, meaning it should install without needing any special modifications. It's a good idea to check your other cooling system components, like the thermostat and radiator cap, while you're in there to ensure everything is in top shape.
