Gates 20473 Molded Coolant Hose

Gates 20473 is a molded radiator coolant hose built to OEM-quality specifications for upper, lower, bypass, heater, and other cooling-system applications. Made from EPDM, it is shaped for direct replacement use on select vehicles, including Subaru Impreza, Cadillac Allante, Ford trucks and vans, Jeep CJ5, Buick Skylark, and Oldsmobile Cutlass.

The Gates Molded Coolant Hose line is engineered as a broad replacement solution for radiator hose service, helping reduce the time spent sourcing OE dealer parts for cooling-system repairs.

Key Features

  • EPDM construction for coolant-system durability
  • Molded hose design for formed routing and proper fit
  • 1.5 in. inside diameter at both ends
  • 12.8 in. centerline length
  • No spring, no modular sections, and no quick-connect fittings
  • Direct replacement part number 20473 for select radiator and heater hose applications

Detailed Description

This Gates molded coolant hose is designed for vehicles that require a formed hose profile to route coolant cleanly between connection points. The 1.5-inch end diameters and molded shape support radiator and HVAC coolant routing where a straight hose would not match the original path. For buyers searching for a Subaru Impreza lower radiator hose, a Cadillac Allante lower coolant hose, or a Ford upper radiator hose replacement, Gates 20473 provides a cataloged solution with application-specific fitment.

Cross-reference part numbers include Continental 66369 and Dayco 70369 for the same application.

What It Helps Solve

  • Cracked or leaking radiator hose sections
  • Collapsed or softened coolant hose material
  • Improper hose routing after cooling-system service
  • Fitment issues when a molded replacement is required
  • Cooling-system maintenance on older Subaru, Ford, Jeep, Buick, Cadillac, and Oldsmobile vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

  • Verify position before ordering: this part is listed for upper and lower applications depending on vehicle.
  • Some Ford applications note cut-to-fit requirements; confirm routing and trim only as needed for the listed vehicle.
  • Check hose diameter, centerline length, and connection points against the original part before installation.
  • Inspect clamps, necks, and adjoining cooling components during replacement.
