Gates 25695 Molded Coolant Hose OEM Replacement Radiator Hose

The Gates 25695 is a precision-molded replacement coolant hose engineered to OEM specifications. Designed as a direct-fit solution for upper, lower, bypass, heater, and other cooling system applications, this hose eliminates the guesswork of universal hose cutting and fitting.

Key Features:

• EPDM construction — tube, synthetic fiber knit reinforcement, and heat- and ozone-resistant EPDM cover for long-lasting durability
• Electrochemical degradation (ECD) resistance — engineered compounds combat the leading cause of coolant hose failure, where galvanic reactions form micro-cracks in the hose tube
• Vacuum collapse resistance — specially engineered materials maintain hose shape under negative pressure, reducing the need for internal support springs
• Temperature rated from -40°F to +275°F (-40°C to +135°C) for reliable performance across all climates
• Meets SAE 20R4 EC Class D1 industry standards
• Pre-shaped for a precise fit — factory-molded to ensure perfectly sealed connections without stress on fittings
• Approved for marine applications — suitable for use in boats and other marine cooling systems

Gates molded coolant hoses are manufactured to match OEM dimensions exactly, making installation straightforward and leak-free. Gates recommends replacing hose clamps each time a new coolant hose is installed to ensure a proper seal.
