Gates Molded Coolant Hose 20400 Overview

Gates 20400 is a molded radiator coolant hose built to OEM-quality specifications for select Ford, Chevrolet, and Pontiac applications. It is formed from EPDM for dependable coolant-system service and is shaped for lower hose routing where a molded profile is required.

The Gates Molded Coolant Hose line covers upper, lower, bypass, heater, and other coolant applications, helping reduce the need to source a hose from the OE dealer. Part number 20400 is a direct replacement option for vehicles that require a molded lower coolant hose with a 1.75 in. inside diameter at both ends and a 19 in. centerline length.

  • 1.75 in. inside diameter at both ends
  • 19 in. centerline length
  • No spring and no quick-connect fittings

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify end diameters, centerline length, and routing before installation. Compare the original hose shape to the molded profile of Gates 20400, especially on classic Ford E-Series vans and 1960s Chevrolet and Pontiac applications. Inspect clamps, necks, and adjoining cooling-system components for wear before installing the new hose.
