• Suitable for vehicles requiring a molded 1-inch diameter radiator hose of 10.5 inches length

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the vehicle’s cooling system is cool before removing the old hose. Verify the hose dimensions and shape match the original part to guarantee proper fitment. Use appropriate clamps to secure the hose ends without over-tightening, which can damage the EPDM material. Inspect surrounding components for wear or damage during installation to maintain system integrity.
