Gates 2012 Toyota Prius 4-Cyl. 1.5L Electric Assist Aux.Water Pump Inlet Molded Heater Hose

This molded heater hose from Gates is constructed from heat-resistant EPDM rubber, a material known for its durability in demanding engine bay conditions. It's specifically shaped to fit the inlet of the auxiliary water pump on electric-assist hybrid systems, ensuring a secure and leak-free connection. This hose is designed to replace the original part on a wide range of vehicles, including popular models like the 2012 Toyota Prius C, 2001-2006 Hyundai Santa Fe, and 1990-1993 Chevrolet G-Series vans.

The precise molding of this hose means it follows the factory routing, making installation straightforward without the need for excessive bending or forcing. This helps prevent kinks that could restrict coolant flow, which is especially important in the complex cooling systems of hybrid vehicles. Gates uses robust construction methods to ensure this hose can withstand the constant temperature fluctuations and pressure found in your vehicle's heater circuit.
