What is the purpose of the safety stripe on this hose?

The safety stripe is a visual indicator. It helps you see if the hose has been twisted during installation, which can restrict flow, or if it has been damaged in a way that compromises its integrity.

Can this hose be used for other fluid transfer applications?

While this hose is specifically designed for heater core applications and coolant, its temperature and pressure ratings might make it suitable for other low-pressure, non-potable fluid transfer needs. However, always confirm compatibility with the specific fluid and system requirements.

What else might I need when installing this heater hose?

When installing heater hose, you'll typically need appropriate hose clamps to secure the connections at the engine and heater core fittings. It's also a good idea to have a drain pan ready to catch any residual coolant and a way to flush the system if you're replacing multiple cooling components.

Product Details

What you get here is a 50-foot roll of Gates Safety Stripe Heater Hose, designed to be cut to the length you need for your specific application. This hose is built to handle a wide temperature range, from a chilly -40 degrees Fahrenheit all the way up to 257 degrees Fahrenheit, and it can hold up to 60 PSI of pressure. The distinctive safety stripe is a helpful visual cue, making it easier to see if the hose has been twisted during installation or if it's been damaged.

Heater hoses are crucial for your vehicle's climate control system, carrying hot coolant from the engine to the heater core inside the cabin, and then returning the cooled fluid back to the engine. Gates has been a well-known name in belts and hoses for a long time, and this heater hose is made with materials that resist degradation from coolant and engine heat. It's a solid option for replacing old, cracked, or leaking heater hoses on a wide variety of vehicles, from older models like the 1970 Alfa Romeo Spider to more recent ones like the 2011 Buick Lucerne or the 2014 Cadillac Escalade.

Because this is a 50-foot roll, you'll have plenty of hose for multiple vehicles or for longer runs. Just remember to use appropriate hose clamps to ensure a secure connection at both the engine and the heater core fittings. Always refer to your vehicle's service manual for the correct routing and connection points.
