What is EPDM rubber and why is it used for coolant hoses?

EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber is a synthetic rubber known for its excellent resistance to heat, ozone, and weathering. This makes it a durable material for coolant hoses, which are exposed to high temperatures and the chemicals in 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.

How often should I replace my coolant hoses?

It's a good idea to inspect your coolant hoses regularly for signs of wear, such as cracking, swelling, or softness. Most manufacturers recommend replacing coolant hoses every 4 to 5 years, or sooner if they show any signs of damage.

Product Details

This Gates molded lower radiator hose is built with EPDM rubber, which is known for its resistance to heat and coolant degradation. It's shaped specifically to fit the lower radiator connection on a wide range of vehicles, including many Dodge, Chrysler, and Plymouth models from the 1970s and early 1980s, like the Dodge D-Series trucks and Plymouth Valiant. A molded hose like this ensures a clean, direct fit, preventing kinks or strain that can happen with universal hose sections.

Replacing a coolant hose is a common maintenance task, and using a hose that's correctly formed for your application makes the job much easier. This hose is designed to handle the pressures and temperatures found in your cooling system, helping to keep your engine running at the right temperature. Gates has been a well-known name in cooling system parts for a long time, so you can expect a well-built hose that will do its job.
