Gates 22461 Lower Radiator Coolant Hose Curved Molded EPDM OE Replacement

The Gates 22461 is a premium molded lower radiator coolant hose engineered as a direct OE replacement. Pre-shaped to match the original routing of your cooling system, this curved hose installs quickly and seals reliably without modification.

Constructed with an EPDM tube and heat-, ozone-, and chemical coolant-resistant EPDM cover reinforced with synthetic fiber knit, this hose is specifically engineered to resist electrochemical degradation (ECD) — the leading cause of coolant hose failure. Its materials also resist vacuum collapse, eliminating the need for an internal spring in most applications.
