Gates 19038 HVAC Heater Hose - Heater Outlet or Heater To Pipe

Gates Molded Heater Hose for Jeep Applications

The Gates 19038 molded heater hose is a factory-molded, OE-style coolant hose built for tight engine compartments. It is made from EPDM and formed with a 26.4-inch centerline length and 0.59-inch inside diameter at both ends for a precise routing path in Jeep heater circuits.

Compatible with select Jeep TJ, Wrangler, and Cherokee applications, this molded heater hose supports coolant, water, and air transfer. The Gates Molded Heater Hose line focuses on shaped replacement hoses that follow original routing in compact engine bays, including vehicles with limited clearance around the heater plumbing.

Detailed Description

Gates 19038 is a molded HVAC heater hose engineered to match the routing needs of smaller, tighter-fitting engine compartments. Its molded shape helps it follow the original hose path in Jeep heater-to-pipe and heater-outlet locations, reducing the need to force a straight hose into a curved route. This makes it a practical OE-style replacement for Jeep TJ, Wrangler, and Cherokee models listed in the fitment data.

This part cross-references Dayco 87792 for the same application. The Gates Molded Heater Hose product line is built for replacement jobs where formed hose geometry matters, especially in compact cooling and heater plumbing layouts.

What It Helps Address

• Cracked or deteriorated heater hose material
• Coolant leaks at a molded hose section
• Poor hose routing in tight engine compartments
• Replacement needs for Jeep heater-to-pipe and heater-outlet connections
• Service on coolant, water, or air transfer lines where a molded hose is required

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify the hose path, end diameters, and centerline length before installation.
• Match the application to the listed Jeep TJ, Wrangler, or Cherokee fitment and position.
• Inspect adjoining pipes, clamps, and heater fittings for wear before installing the new hose.
• Confirm left-hand-drive notes where listed for Cherokee, TJ, and Wrangler applications.

Quality Assurance

Gates manufactures this molded heater hose as an OE-style replacement built to factory-molded specifications for the listed Jeep applications. The EPDM construction and molded form support consistent fitment in heater hose service.
