The Gates 51340 Molded Coolant Hose is an OEM-quality replacement hose engineered to deliver precise fit and reliable performance for your vehicle's cooling system. This factory-molded hose is manufactured to exact specifications for a specific application, ensuring proper routing and fitment.

Key Features:

• EPDM tube construction with synthetic fiber knit reinforcement and EPDM cover
• Engineered to resist electrochemical degradation (ECD), the leading cause of coolant hose failure
• Heat and ozone resistant materials for extended service life
• Temperature range: -40°F to +275°F (-40°C to +135°C)
• Re-engineered materials resist vacuum collapse
• Meets SAE 20R3 or SAE 20R4 EC Class D1 specifications
• Approved for marine applications

Gates coolant hoses are precision-manufactured using exclusive factory processes to ensure compatibility and exceptional performance. The advanced EPDM compound resists the electrochemical reactions that occur between coolant, the hose, and metal fittings, preventing micro-cracks and premature failure. Gates recommends replacing hose clamps each time a new coolant hose is installed for optimal sealing performance.
