Gates 26622 Green Stripe Vulco-Flex Radiator Coolant Hose

The Gates 26622 is a Green Stripe™ Vulco-Flex™ Radiator Hose from Gates Corporation, a trusted leader in automotive and heavy-duty cooling system components. Designed as a flexible, universal-fit radiator hose, the Vulco-Flex line features a built-in spiral wire that allows the hose to be cut to length and bent to fit a wide range of upper and lower radiator applications.

Unlike rigid molded hoses, the Gates Green Stripe Vulco-Flex serves as a permanent replacement hose engineered to match the performance of application-specific molded hoses — without requiring an exact OEM match. This makes it an ideal solution for older vehicles, custom builds, or situations where a molded replacement is unavailable.

Key Features:

• Flexible design with built-in spiral wire to maintain shape and prevent collapse under vacuum
• Engineered to resist electrochemical degradation (ECD), the leading cause of coolant hose failure
• Approved for heavy-duty and marine applications
• Can be cut to the required length for a custom fit
• Heat and ozone resistant outer cover for extended service life
• Compatible with standard coolant formulations

Gates recommends replacing hose clamps each time a new coolant hose is installed to ensure a leak-free seal. The Green Stripe Vulco-Flex hose is part of Gates' comprehensive cooling system line, trusted by professional technicians and DIY enthusiasts alike.
