Gates 18065 HVAC Heater Hose - Tee To Reservoir

Gates 18065 Molded Heater Hose Overview

The Gates 18065 molded heater hose is a factory-molded, OE-style coolant hose built for tight engine bays and small-diameter routing. It is made from EPDM and is approved for coolant, water, air, and marine applications.

Compatible with 2010-2016 Chevrolet Cruze and 2016 Chevrolet Cruze Limited applications at the tee to reservoir position, this molded heater hose supports a precise replacement for the original routing. Gates Molded Heater Hose products are built for vehicles that need a formed hose shape rather than a universal straight hose.

• Incorrect routing from a previous repair

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify hose routing, end diameters, and centerline length before installation. Match the molded shape to the original hose path on the 2010-2016 Chevrolet Cruze or 2016 Chevrolet Cruze Limited, tee to reservoir position, to avoid kinks or tension at the connections. Inspect adjoining fittings and clamps for wear before reassembly.
