Gates 05-5602 Molded Coolant Radiator Hose

The Gates 05-5602 is a precision-molded coolant hose engineered to deliver reliable, leak-free performance in your vehicle's cooling system. Factory pre-shaped to OEM specifications, this radiator hose ensures a proper fit and perfectly sealed connections without modification.

Gates molded coolant hoses are constructed with an EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber tube and cover, paired with synthetic fiber knit reinforcement. This construction provides outstanding resistance to heat, ozone, and chemical coolants — the everyday enemies of cooling system hoses.

Key Features:

• ECD-Resistant Design: Engineered to resist electrochemical degradation (ECD), the leading cause of premature hose failure
• EPDM Construction: Durable rubber compound offers excellent resistance to heat, ozone, and cooling system chemicals
• Pre-Molded Fit: Factory-shaped to ensure a precise OEM-quality fit and perfectly sealed conditions
• Wide Temperature Range: Rated from -40°F to +275°F (-40°C to +135°C) for reliable performance in all climates
• SAE Compliant: Meets SAE 20R4 EC Class D2 standards
• Vacuum Collapse Resistant: Engineered materials resist vacuum collapse, reducing the need for internal springs
• Not for Fuel or Oil Use: Designed specifically for engine coolant, water, and air applications

Gates recommends replacing hose clamps each time a new coolant hose is installed to ensure a secure, long-lasting seal. Trust Gates — a global leader in fluid power and power transmission products — to keep your cooling system running at peak efficiency.
