Gates 24874 Molded Coolant Hose

The Gates 24874 is a precision-molded EPDM coolant hose designed to provide OEM-quality performance for upper, lower, bypass, heater, and other coolant system applications. This curved hose features a 20-3/16 inch centerline length with 1-3/16 inch inside diameter on both ends, making it a direct-fit replacement for specific vehicle cooling systems.

Key Features:

• EPDM rubber construction with synthetic fiber knit reinforcement for superior durability
• Pre-shaped molded design ensures proper fit and perfectly sealed connections
• Engineered to resist electrochemical degradation (ECD), the leading cause of coolant hose failure
• Specifically-engineered materials resist vacuum collapse, eliminating the need for internal springs
• Heat and ozone resistant EPDM cover withstands extreme conditions
• Temperature range: -40°F to +275°F (-40°C to +135°C)
• Meets SAE 20R3 Type EC Class D-1 and D-2 specifications
• Approved for marine applications

Gates molded coolant hoses are manufactured to exact specifications, providing a cost-effective alternative to OE dealer parts while maintaining the same quality standards. The hose's resistance to electrochemical degradation helps prevent micro-cracks that can lead to coolant leakage and costly engine damage. Gates recommends replacing hose clamps each time a new coolant hose is installed for optimal performance.
