Gates 12210 Molded Heater Hose

The Gates 12210 is a factory-molded EPDM heater hose designed to meet OEM specifications for reliable engine cooling system performance. This pre-shaped molded hose is engineered to fit specific applications with precision, ensuring proper coolant flow between the engine and heater core.

Key Features:

• EPDM rubber construction with synthetic fiber knit reinforcement for superior durability
• Engineered to resist electrochemical degradation (ECD), the leading cause of coolant hose failure
• Pre-molded to OEM specifications for exact fit and proper sealed conditions
• Temperature range: -40°F to +275°F (-40°C to +135°C)
• Meets SAE 20R3 EC Class D specifications for quality and performance
• Resistant to most coolants, non-oil based coolant additives, and high cooling system pressures
• Heat and ozone-resistant EPDM cover for extended service life

Gates molded heater hoses are manufactured to fit heater, bypass, and other coolant system applications with the same dimensional specifications as original equipment. The advanced EPDM compound resists the electrochemical reactions that cause micro-cracks in standard hoses, providing longer-lasting performance and reducing the risk of coolant leaks and engine overheating.
