Gates 86-89 Mercury Topaz 4-Cyl. 2.3L Heater To Pipe Molded Heater Hose

This is a Gates molded heater hose, part number 19600, designed to connect your heater core to the pipe on a range of Ford and Mercury vehicles. If your heater isn't blowing warm air, a cracked or leaking heater hose is often the culprit, and this direct-fit replacement will get your system working properly again. It's shaped specifically to follow the contours of your engine bay, making installation straightforward.

Gates uses a robust EPDM rubber construction for this hose, which is built to handle the high temperatures and pressures found in your cooling system. This material resists degradation from coolant chemicals and engine heat, so you can expect it to last. The molded shape means you won't have to fight with a stiff, straight hose trying to bend it into place, which can sometimes lead to kinks or stress points. This hose is a solid option for vehicles like the Ford Mustang, Mercury Cougar, or Ford Tempo from the 1980s and early 90s.
