What does this heater hose connect?

This hose connects the heater core inside your vehicle to the metal pipe that carries coolant. This connection is essential for circulating hot coolant through the heater core to warm the cabin air.

What is the hose made of?

The hose is constructed from EPDM rubber, which is a material known for its good resistance to heat, ozone, and degradation from engine coolant.

Do I need any special tools to install this hose?

Typically, you will need basic hand tools like pliers to remove the old hose clamps and install new ones. It's always recommended to refer to your vehicle's service manual for specific installation procedures.

Product Details

When your heater starts blowing cold air, a cracked or leaking heater hose is often the culprit. This molded heater hose from Gates is specifically made for your 1991-1996 Ford Escort, connecting the heater core to the pipe to restore proper coolant flow for cabin heat. It's designed to handle the temperature and pressure fluctuations common in a vehicle's heating system.

Gates uses a well-built EPDM rubber construction for this hose, which is known for its resistance to heat, ozone, and coolant degradation. This means it should hold up well over time, resisting the kind of cracking and hardening that leads to leaks. The molded shape ensures it fits right without needing to be stretched or kinked, which can happen with universal hose sections and often leads to premature failure. This hose is built to replace the original part directly, making installation straightforward.
