Dorman 626-819 Radiator Coolant Hose - Outlet

Overview

Dorman 626-819 is a standard replacement heater hose assembly with a formed molded design and an upgraded aluminum hose connector. It is built to address a common failure point in original equipment HVAC heater hose assemblies: cracked plastic connectors.

Compatible with Ram 2500, Ram 3500, Ram 4500, and Ram 5500 outlet applications from 2015-2018, this part number 626-819 is a direct-fit solution for restoring coolant flow in the heater circuit. The molded assembly layout and protective sleeve help support a clean, OE-style installation.

Key Features

• Upgraded aluminum hose connector replaces a common plastic failure point.
• Formed molded hose assembly for a precise routing profile.
• Protective sleeve attached for added abrasion resistance.
• Standard replacement grade for service repairs.
• Black hose construction for a factory-style appearance.

Detailed Description

This Dorman heater hose assembly is engineered as an OE FIX replacement for applications where the original HVAC heater hose connector can crack and fail. By using an aluminum connector instead of plastic, part number 626-819 addresses a known weak point while maintaining the correct hose shape and connection sizes. It is a practical choice for Ram 2500, Ram 3500, Ram 4500, and Ram 5500 outlet service where a formed hose assembly is required.

The assembly measures 9.5 inches centerline length, with 1.64-inch and 1.8-inch inside diameters at the ends. Its molded construction, 100-degree angle, and 30-degree bending radius support proper routing, while the attached protective sleeve adds another layer of durability in a heat-exposed area.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a cracked heater hose connector.
• Restoring coolant circulation through the heater circuit.
• Correcting leaks caused by damaged hose assembly connections.
• Repairing a worn molded hose that no longer holds its shape.
• Servicing outlet-side heater hose routing on compatible Ram trucks.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify hose routing, end diameters, and outlet application before installation. Compare the existing assembly to the new part number 626-819 to confirm connector style and molded shape. Inspect adjacent cooling system components for heat damage, hardened seals, or coolant residue before completing the repair.

Quality Assurance

Dorman OE FIX parts are designed to improve on a known failure point in the original design while preserving the intended fit and function of the replacement assembly.
