Detailed Product Description
This radiator coolant hose from Gates is part of the Molded Coolant Hose product line, which focuses on delivering hoses with exact molded shapes to match original equipment specifications.

Both ends of the hose have an inside diameter of 1.5 inches (38 mm), ensuring compatibility with standard radiator and engine fittings. The molded construction eliminates the need for additional clamps or modifications, providing a secure and leak-resistant connection.
