Product Details

The Gates 18729 is a Small I.D. Premium Molded Heater Hose engineered as a direct OEM-quality replacement for the heater-to-water-pump connection. Factory-molded to fit today's smaller, tighter engine compartments, this hose delivers the same precise fit and performance as the original equipment part it replaces.

Constructed with an EPDM tube, synthetic fiber knit reinforcement, and EPDM cover, this hose is specifically engineered to resist electrochemical degradation (ECD) — the leading cause of coolant hose failure. ECD occurs when the hose, liquid coolant, and metal fittings form a galvanic cell, triggering micro-cracking in the hose tube that leads to coolant leaks and potential engine damage.

Key Features:

  • Factory-molded Small I.D. design for precise OEM-style fitment
  • EPDM rubber construction with synthetic fiber knit reinforcement
  • Engineered to resist electrochemical degradation (ECD)
  • Meets SAE 20R3 Type EC Class D-1 and D-2 specifications
  • Temperature range: -40°F to +275°F (-40°C to +135°C)
  • Approved for marine applications
  • Suitable for coolant, water, and air applications
  • Centerline length: 28-11/16 in. (729 mm)
  • End 1 inside diameter: 5/8 in. (16 mm)
  • End 2 inside diameter: 3/4 in. (19 mm)
  • Sold individually
  • Backed by Gates' lifetime limited warranty

Note: Gates recommends replacing hose clamps each time a new coolant hose is installed. Not for use in fuel or oil transfer applications.

Very speedy and in excellent shape. Easy to install and only took minutes. Autoplicity in my book is a great place to shop. <br><br>-Jason Chance<br> Cape Fair, MO

Great prices and fast delivery. I ordered my cam+springs+phaser kit for my 2007 mustang, I found the best prices with Autoplicity. Strongly recommend and most certainly purchasing here again

Ordered Lucas gear oil and have to say the service is great and delivery was very quick. I will recommend Autoplicity for quality yet affordable prices. will do business with again!

Great customer service. Quick and fast service. Great product knowledge

I had been searching many sites for a better price on shocks for my 1999 Ford Explorer, upon finding Autoplicity the savings was 13.00 cheaper than all others. I instantly made the purchase. wish i had knew about them before I purchased the other items for my truck. will return as a customer .

Excellent price on name brand items, best prices for Bosch oxygen sensors.
