What material is this coolant hose made from?

This Gates coolant hose is constructed from EPDM rubber. EPDM is chosen for its excellent resistance to heat, ozone, and coolant chemicals, which helps ensure a long service life.

Does this hose come with clamps?

This part number is for the molded coolant hose only. Clamps are sold separately, and it's recommended to use corrosion-resistant clamps appropriate for your vehicle's cooling system.

Why is a molded hose better than a universal hose?

A molded hose is pre-shaped to follow the specific routing required by your vehicle's engine bay. This provides a cleaner installation and avoids kinks or stress points that can occur when trying to force a universal hose into place.

Product Details

When you're tackling a cooling system refresh on a classic V-8, getting the right hose is key. This upper molded coolant hose from Gates is built to fit a wide range of vehicles from the late 60s through the late 70s, including popular models like the Oldsmobile Cutlass, Buick Skylark, and Chevrolet P-series vans. It's shaped specifically to route correctly around engine components and connect your radiator to the engine's water pump, ensuring proper coolant flow to keep your engine from overheating.

Gates uses a robust EPDM rubber construction for this hose, which is known for its resistance to heat and coolant degradation. This means it's built to last and won't crack or split prematurely under the demanding conditions of a V-8 engine. The molded shape means you don't have to fight with a stiff hose trying to bend it into place; it's designed to fit right where it needs to go, making installation smoother. This hose is a solid option for anyone rebuilding or maintaining the cooling system on these classic GM platforms.
