Gates 24876 Premium Molded Coolant Hose

The Gates 24876 Premium Molded Coolant Hose is a factory-molded, OEM-quality replacement hose designed for precise fit and reliable performance in automotive cooling systems. This pre-shaped hose is engineered to fit upper, lower, bypass, heater, and other coolant applications with exact OEM specifications.

Key Features:

• EPDM tube and cover construction for superior heat and ozone resistance
• Synthetic fiber knit reinforcement for high burst strength and durability
• Engineered to resist electrochemical degradation (ECD), the leading cause of coolant hose failure
• Pre-shaped design ensures perfectly sealed connections and easy installation
• Temperature range: -40°F to +275°F (-40°C to +135°C)
• Meets SAE 20R4 EC Class D1 specifications
• Approved for marine applications

Gates molded coolant hoses feature advanced EPDM compound technology that resists the electrochemical degradation that occurs when hoses, liquid coolant, and metal fittings form a galvanic cell. This resistance to micro-cracking ensures longer service life and prevents coolant system failures. The precision-molded construction eliminates the need for universal flex hoses in most applications, providing a cleaner installation and more reliable seal.

Note: Gates recommends replacing hose clamps each time a new coolant hose is installed for optimal performance and leak prevention.
