Product Details
Gates Molded Heater Hose line products are built to follow OE-style hose routing where straight hose sections do not match the vehicle layout. This Gates 12475 hose is shaped for compact installations and is sized with equal 0.75-inch ends to support consistent flow through the heater circuit. It is a practical replacement for a Tesla S molded heater hose application when the original hose has softened, cracked, or no longer holds its formed shape. This part cross-references Bosch 13475 for the same application.
Common Problems This Hose Can Address
- Coolant seepage from a hardened or split heater hose
- Poor hose routing caused by loss of molded shape
- Restricted heater flow from internal hose deterioration
- Leaks at hose connections from aged EPDM material
- Service replacement for a worn Tesla S heater hose path
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify hose routing against the original layout before installation, especially in compact Tesla S thermal-management packaging. Confirm both connection diameters match the 19 mm ends and inspect adjoining clamps, fittings, and mating surfaces for wear or corrosion before reassembly. Use the vehicle’s specified coolant service procedure after installation.
Quality Assurance
