What material is this coolant hose made from?

This Gates coolant hose is made from a heat-resistant EPDM rubber compound. This material is chosen for its ability to withstand high engine temperatures and resist degradation from coolant.

Why is a molded hose better than a universal one?

A molded hose is shaped specifically to follow the exact routing of the original equipment hose. This prevents kinks and ensures it doesn't rub against other engine components, which can lead to premature failure.

What other parts might I need when replacing a coolant hose?

When replacing a coolant hose, it's a good time to inspect and potentially replace your coolant. You may also need new hose clamps if your old ones are corroded or damaged.

Product Details

This Gates molded coolant hose is constructed from a heat-resistant EPDM rubber compound, a material known for its ability to withstand high temperatures and resist degradation from coolant. It's specifically shaped to fit the lower radiator connection on a variety of vehicles, including the Buick Century, Chevrolet Celebrity, and Pontiac 6000 models from the late 80s and early 90s. Having the correct shape means it installs without a struggle, ensuring a secure connection that prevents leaks and keeps your engine running at the right temperature.

The molded design of this hose is key. Unlike universal hose that you might try to bend and cut to fit, this one follows the exact path from the radiator to the engine's water pump. This precise fit is important because a hose that's kinked or rubbing against other engine components can fail prematurely. Gates uses advanced molding techniques to replicate the original equipment manufacturer's (OEM) hose shape, so you can be confident it will work as intended.

Replacing a coolant hose is a common maintenance task, especially on older vehicles where the rubber can become brittle or cracked over time. This hose is a solid option for getting your cooling system back in reliable working order.
