Product Details

Gates Molded Heater Hose 19079 is a formed HVAC heater hose designed to follow the original hose path in vehicles with limited clearance. The molded shape helps maintain proper routing in heater and coolant circuits, while the EPDM material is suited for coolant, water, and air applications. This part is a direct-fit style replacement for applications such as the 2007 Kia Rondo heater outlet and 1994-1996 Buick Roadmaster heater to restrictor, along with related Chevrolet Caprice, Impala, and Commercial Chassis applications. This part cross-references Continental 63496 for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Help Address

• Cracked or deteriorated heater hose routing in a tight engine compartment
• Incorrect hose shape that prevents proper factory-style fitment
• Coolant leaks at a worn molded hose section
• Restricted heater flow caused by a damaged hose path
• Replacement needs for heater outlet and heater-to-restrictor routing

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify end diameters, centerline length, and routing before installation to confirm the hose matches the original path. Inspect adjoining clamps, fittings, and nearby coolant components for wear before reassembly. For fitment-specific searches, this hose is listed for the 2007 Kia Rondo heater outlet and for 1994-1996 Buick Roadmaster, Chevrolet Caprice, Chevrolet Impala, and 1994 Chevrolet Commercial Chassis heater-to-restrictor routing.
