Dorman 626-814 HVAC Heater Hose Assembly - Outlet

Overview

Dorman 626-814 is an HVAC heater hose assembly built as a standard replacement for vehicles with outlet-to-reservoir routing. It uses upgraded aluminum connectors in place of the plastic connectors commonly found on original equipment hoses, helping address a known failure point in the cooling system.

Compatible with 2013-2016 Ford Fusion and 2013-2016 Lincoln MKZ, this molded hose assembly is shaped for the application and includes attached clamps and a protective sleeve. The Dorman 626-814 is a direct-fit service part for restoring heater hose function without changing the system layout.

Key Features

• OE FIX design replaces plastic connectors with aluminum connectors.
• Molded hose assembly follows the original routing for a cleaner fit.
• Protective sleeve attached for added abrasion resistance.
• Includes clamps for installation on the specified application.
• Standard replacement grade for HVAC heater hose service.

Detailed Description

This HVAC heater hose assembly is engineered for outlet-to-reservoir applications on the Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ. The molded construction, black finish, and multi-branch layout support the original hose path, while the aluminum connector upgrade addresses connector cracking that can occur in the factory design. Part number 626-814 is intended for service technicians and do-it-yourself repairs that require a replacement hose assembly with application-specific fitment.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., DG9Z18472V) for the same application.

Common Uses

• Cracked heater hose connectors
• Coolant leaks at the hose assembly
• Damaged molded hose routing
• Worn HVAC hose connections
• Service replacement for outlet-to-reservoir routing

Installation Notes

Verify hose routing, connector orientation, and end diameters before installation. Confirm the outlet-to-reservoir configuration on the vehicle and inspect adjacent cooling system components for wear or contamination. Part number 626-814 should be matched to the listed fitment before service begins.

Quality Assurance

Dorman OE FIX parts are developed to address common failure points found in original equipment designs. Part number 626-814 uses upgraded aluminum connectors to improve durability at the connector interface.
