Product Details

Gates 19443 is a molded HVAC heater hose designed to match OE-style routing where a straight hose will not follow the original path. Its molded profile helps it fit the tighter packaging found in modern engine compartments while maintaining the correct 16 mm inside diameter at both ends. This hose is a direct-fit style option for 2001 Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Stratus, and for 2002-2006 Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Stratus, in the listed engine-to-pipe and pipe-to-engine positions.

This part cross-references Continental 64254 for the same application.

Common Uses

• Replacing a cracked or leaking heater hose
• Restoring coolant flow between the engine and pipe connection
• Addressing soft, swollen, or heat-aged EPDM hose material
• Correcting routing issues in tight engine compartments
• Servicing Chrysler Sebring or Dodge Stratus heater hose applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the hose path, end diameters, and centerline length before installation. Confirm whether your vehicle uses the engine-to-pipe-1 or pipe-1-to-engine routing shown in the fitment data for your year and model. Inspect mating tubes, clamps, and nearby components for wear or corrosion before installing the new hose.

Quality Assurance

Gates manufactures this molded coolant hose as an OE-style replacement built for the demands of heater and coolant routing in compact engine bays. The EPDM construction and molded form support consistent fitment for the listed Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Stratus applications.
