Gates 20795 Radiator Coolant Hose - Lower or Upper

Gates 20795 Molded Coolant Hose Overview

Gates 20795 is a molded radiator coolant hose built to OEM-quality specifications for upper and lower cooling-system applications. Made from EPDM, it provides a formed replacement path for vehicles that need an exact-shape hose rather than a universal cut-to-fit part.

The Gates Molded Coolant Hose line covers radiator, heater, bypass, and other coolant routing needs, helping simplify radiator hose replacement on vehicles such as the Nissan Altima, Nissan Maxima, and Mazda MX-6.

Key Features

• EPDM construction for coolant-system service
• Molded shape for proper routing and fit
• 1.25 in. inside diameter at both ends
• 20.2 in. centerline length
• No spring and no quick-connect fittings
• Direct replacement style for upper and lower coolant hose applications

Product Details

This Gates molded coolant hose, part number 20795, is engineered for vehicles that require a formed hose with the correct bends and dimensions for the cooling circuit. The 1.25-inch end diameters and 20.2-inch centerline length support accurate routing in applications where a straight hose would not maintain the factory path. It is listed across a wide range of makes and models, including Nissan Altima, Nissan Maxima, Toyota T100, Ford Probe, Mazda 626, and Mazda MX-6.

This part cross-references Dorman - HELP 20795 for the same application.

Common Problems This Hose Can Address

• Cracked or split radiator coolant hose
• Collapsed or softened hose from age and heat cycling
• Coolant leaks at a formed hose section
• Poor hose routing after a previous repair
• Replacement needs for upper or lower coolant hose positions

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify hose routing, end diameters, and centerline length before installation. This molded hose is listed for upper and lower positions depending on vehicle application, so match the vehicle-specific fitment notes carefully. Inspect adjoining clamps, necks, and coolant pipes for wear or corrosion before installing the new hose. Drain and refill the cooling system according to the vehicle service procedure after replacement.

Compatible fitment examples include 2000-2001 Nissan Altima, lower; 1989-1994 Nissan Maxima, lower; and 1995-1997 Mazda MX-6, upper.
