Gates Upper Radiator Hose Curved

The Gates Upper Radiator Hose is a molded, curved radiator hose (also called a coolant hose). It carries hot coolant from the engine to the top of the radiator. Gates is a well-known name in belts, hoses and cooling system components. These hoses are made to replace the original part and to hold up under heat, pressure and constant engine vibration.

Key Features:

• Pre-formed curved shape that routes the hose to its fitting points and reduces the chance of kinking
• Reinforced, multi-layer rubber construction built to resist coolant, heat, ozone and pressure cycling
• Molded to match the original equipment shape, so no cutting or bending is needed
• Helps keep coolant flowing and the engine at normal operating temperature

Replace an upper radiator hose when it feels soft, swollen or cracked, or when it leaks. Replacing it at the same time as the clamps and coolant gives the best results. Each hose in this line is sold under its own part number.
