What is the primary material of this Gates coolant hose?

This Gates coolant hose is constructed from a strong EPDM rubber compound. EPDM rubber is chosen for its excellent resistance to heat, ozone, and the chemicals found in engine coolant.

Does this hose come with clamps?

This part number is for the hose only. Clamps are sold separately, and it's recommended to use corrosion-resistant clamps appropriate for the hose diameter.

What makes this a 'heavy-duty' hose?

The heavy-duty designation refers to its robust construction, designed to withstand the pressures and temperature cycles of a running engine. This helps ensure it lasts longer and performs reliably compared to standard hoses.

Product Details

This Gates HD lower radiator hose is built with a strong EPDM rubber compound, which is known for its resistance to heat and coolant chemicals. It's designed to fit a range of classic Ford F Series trucks with V8 360 engines, like the F-100, F-250, and F-350 from the mid-60s to the late-70s. It also fits some Ford M-series trucks and even certain older Ford and Pontiac passenger cars from the late 50s and early 60s, making it a versatile replacement part for many applications.

The flexible design of this hose allows it to navigate tight engine bays and connect securely to the radiator and water pump. Its heavy-duty construction means it's built to withstand the constant expansion and contraction cycles that occur as your engine heats up and cools down, helping to prevent leaks and premature failure. Replacing a worn or cracked lower radiator hose is crucial for maintaining your cooling system's integrity and preventing overheating.
