Gates 24382 Molded Radiator Coolant Hose

The Gates 24382 is a precision-molded radiator coolant hose designed to deliver OEM-quality performance and long-lasting durability. This curved hose is engineered to provide a perfect fit for specific vehicle applications, ensuring reliable coolant circulation and optimal engine cooling.

Key Features:

• Pre-shaped molded design ensures perfectly sealed connections and proper fitment
• Engineered to resist electrochemical degradation (ECD), the leading cause of coolant hose failure
• Reinforced with knitted rayon or aramid construction for maximum strength and burst resistance
• Advanced EPDM rubber tube and cover resists heat, coolants, ozone, and weathering
• Specifically-engineered materials resist collapse under vacuum conditions
• Meets SAE 20R4 and SAE J1684 Type EC specifications for electrochemical resistance
• Temperature range: -40°F to +257°F (-40°C to +125°C)

Gates molded coolant hoses are manufactured to fit upper, lower, bypass, heater, and other coolant system applications with precision OEM specifications. The protective design safeguards contact areas against abrasion and heat, while the advanced compound prevents inner tube deterioration caused by static electric charge buildup. Gates recommends replacing hose clamps each time a new coolant hose is installed for optimal performance and leak prevention.
