Does this hose come with clamps?

This product listing is for the molded heater hose only. Clamps are typically sold separately, so you will need to ensure you have the correct size clamps for installation.

What is the purpose of a molded heater hose?

A molded heater hose is shaped to fit a specific application, following the exact routing of the original factory hose. This prevents kinks and ensures optimal coolant flow to and from the heater core, which is essential for cabin heating.

Product Details

This Gates molded heater hose is what you get in the box: a single, shaped hose designed to connect the tee fitting to the water pump on your 1999-2003 Ford Windstar with the V-6 3.8L engine, or your 1998-2003 Ford Escort. It’s a direct replacement part, meaning it’s made to fit right into your existing cooling system without any fuss.

Heater hoses are crucial because they carry hot coolant from the engine to the heater core, which then warms the air blown into your cabin. Over time, these rubber hoses can crack, split, or become brittle, leading to coolant leaks and a loss of heat. This Gates hose is constructed from EPDM rubber, which is known for its resistance to heat and coolant degradation, helping it last longer under the hood. Its molded shape ensures it follows the factory routing precisely, preventing kinks that could restrict coolant flow and impact your heater's performance.

When replacing heater hoses, it's a good idea to inspect all the related cooling system components, like the radiator, thermostat, and other hoses, to catch any potential issues before they become bigger problems. Make sure you have the right tools to disconnect the old hose and secure the new one properly.
