Product Details
Built as a molded heater hose, this Gates hose follows the shape needed for factory routing and clearance. The EPDM material is commonly used in cooling-system service because it handles heat and fluid exposure in heater hose applications. Gates 18562 is a direct-fit style replacement for the rear heater outlet hose on 2002-2005 Kia Sedona models, making it a practical choice when replacing a worn or damaged hose in the cooling circuit.
This part cross-references 0K55261B33C and 10562 for the same application. If you are servicing a 2002-2005 Kia Sedona heater outlet (rear), Gates 18562 provides the molded profile needed for proper routing in the engine compartment.
Common Repair Reasons
- Coolant seepage from a cracked or aged heater hose
- Softening, swelling, or collapse of the hose under heat
- Poor routing caused by a non-molded replacement hose
- Restricted heater flow from internal hose deterioration
- Leak repair at the rear heater outlet on Kia Sedona cooling systems
Installation Notes
Verify hose routing against the original part before installation. Check the mating tubes and clamps for corrosion, scale, or damage, and clean the connection points so the hose seats fully. After installation, refill and bleed the cooling system according to the vehicle service procedure and inspect for leaks at operating temperature.
Quality Assurance
Gates manufactures this molded heater hose as an OE-style replacement part for factory-like fit and routing. The molded construction and EPDM material support consistent performance in heater hose service on the 2002-2005 Kia Sedona and similar cooling-system applications.
