Gates 24342 Premium Molded Coolant Hose

The Gates 24342 Premium Molded Coolant Hose is a pre-shaped curved radiator hose engineered for reliable cooling system performance. This upper radiator hose is precision-molded to OEM specifications, ensuring a perfect fit and proper sealing without the time and hassle of visiting a dealership for replacement parts.

Key Features:

• Engineered to resist electrochemical degradation (ECD), the leading cause of coolant hose failure
• EPDM tube construction with synthetic fiber knit reinforcement for superior durability
• Heat-, ozone-, and chemical coolant-resistant EPDM cover withstands harsh engine environments
• Pre-shaped curved design ensures perfectly sealed connections and proper routing
• Specifically-engineered materials resist collapse under vacuum conditions
• Meets SAE 20R4 Class D2 and DIN 73411 Class A requirements
• Approved for marine applications

Gates molded coolant hoses are manufactured to fit upper, lower, bypass, heater, and other coolant system applications with OEM-quality specifications. The aramid or rayon knit reinforcement provides exceptional strength and resistance to cracking, while the advanced EPDM compound protects against the electrochemical reactions that cause micro-cracks in standard hoses. Gates recommends replacing hose clamps each time a new coolant hose is installed for optimal performance and leak prevention.
