• Approved for marine applications

Gates coolant hoses are designed to prevent the micro-cracking that occurs when the hose, coolant, and metal fittings form a galvanic cell, ensuring longer service life and reliable engine cooling performance. Gates recommends replacing hose clamps each time a new coolant hose is installed for optimal sealing.
