What material is this coolant hose made from?

This Gates coolant hose is constructed from EPDM rubber. This material is chosen for its ability to resist heat and the degrading effects of engine coolant.

Does this hose come with clamps?

This product listing is for the molded coolant hose only. Clamps are sold separately and are required for installation.

Why use a molded hose instead of a universal flexible hose?

Molded hoses are pre-shaped to match the specific routing of your vehicle's cooling system. This ensures a clean installation without kinks, allowing for optimal coolant flow, unlike universal hoses which may require more effort to position correctly.

Product Details

This Gates molded upper coolant hose is built with EPDM rubber, a material known for its resistance to heat and coolant degradation. It's specifically shaped to fit the upper radiator connection on 1968-1976 Ford F Series trucks equipped with a V8 360 engine. Getting the right shape is key here; a molded hose follows the bends of your engine bay without kinks, ensuring coolant flows freely to keep your engine from overheating.

When you're replacing a coolant hose, especially on older vehicles, you want something that's going to hold up. Gates uses a construction that's tough enough to handle the constant expansion and contraction from engine temperature changes. This hose is designed to fit right, making the installation process smoother. It's a solid option for anyone working on their classic Ford truck's cooling system.
