Gates 16-22 Toyota Prius 4-Cyl. 1.8L Electric Assist PCV Valve To Intake Emission Control Hose

This Gates emission control hose is made from a heat-resistant EPDM rubber compound, which is crucial for handling the temperatures found in the engine bay. It connects the PCV valve to the intake system, playing a key role in managing crankcase pressure and emissions. Proper functioning of this hose helps prevent oil leaks and ensures your engine runs cleaner by recirculating blow-by gases instead of venting them into the atmosphere.

Gates uses a reinforced construction to make this hose durable and resistant to cracking or collapsing over time. This means it can handle the constant flexing and pressure changes it experiences during operation. Replacing a worn or damaged hose is important for maintaining the integrity of your vehicle's emissions system and preventing potential drivability issues related to poor crankcase ventilation.
