What is the material of this heater hose?

This heater hose is made from EPDM rubber. EPDM is a synthetic rubber known for its good resistance to heat, ozone, and weathering, making it suitable for under-hood automotive applications.

Why use a molded heater hose instead of a straight one?

Molded heater hoses have a pre-set bend, like the 90-degree angle on this hose. This makes installation easier and helps prevent kinks or stress on the connections, leading to a more secure and reliable fit compared to trying to force a straight hose into a curved path.

What does the 5/8" x 4" x 12" sizing refer to?

The 5/8" refers to the inside diameter of the hose. The 4" and 12" measurements refer to the length of the two legs of the 90-degree bend, with the 4-inch leg being the vertical portion and the 12-inch leg being the horizontal portion.

Product Details

This Gates molded heater hose is constructed with EPDM rubber, which is known for its resistance to heat and ozone. The 90-degree bend is molded right in, so you don't have to fight with a straight hose to make it fit a tight corner. It measures 5/8 inches inside diameter, with a 4-inch long vertical leg and a 12-inch long horizontal leg, giving you plenty of length to work with for routing around engine components.

Using a molded hose like this one can make a heater core replacement or repair much simpler. Instead of trying to bend and secure a straight hose, which can kink or put stress on the connections, this pre-formed hose follows the natural path needed in many applications. This helps ensure a secure fit and prevents potential leaks caused by a poorly routed hose. It's a solid option for many vehicles from the late 80s through the early 2000s, including popular models like the Chevrolet Express vans and Dodge Caravan.
