Overview

Gates 20836 is a molded radiator coolant hose built for upper coolant applications with OEM-quality specifications. It is formed to match the routing needed for select classic Ford and Mercury applications, including Ford LTD and Mercury Monterey fitments.

This molded coolant hose uses EPDM construction and a 22.5-inch centerline length for a precise replacement profile. Gates 20836 is part of the Molded Coolant Hose line, which covers radiator, heater, bypass, and other coolant hose applications.

Key Features

  • EPDM rubber construction for coolant-system durability.
  • Molded shape for accurate hose routing.
  • 1.5-inch inside diameter at both ends.
  • 22.5-inch centerline length.
  • Compatible with upper coolant hose applications.
  • Gates 20836 replacement hose for select Ford, Mercury, and American Motors vehicles.

Fitment Details

Fits 1978-1979 American Motors Pacer, upper. Fits 1977-1978 Ford LTD, upper. Fits 1973-1974 Ford LTD, upper. Fits 1973-1974 Ford Country Sedan, upper. Fits 1973-1974 Ford Country Squire, upper.

Several Ford applications list Windsor engine fitment, including Ford LTD, Country Sedan, Country Squire, Custom 500, Galaxie 500, and Ranch Wagon. This makes Gates 20836 a useful match when replacing a molded upper radiator hose on those vehicles.

What It Helps Address

  • Cracked or aged upper radiator hose material.
  • Incorrect hose routing from a non-molded replacement.
  • Coolant leaks at the hose connection points.
  • Fitment issues on Windsor-engine applications.
  • Replacement needs for radiator and HVAC-compatible coolant routing on select Pacer models.

Installation Notes

Verify hose routing, end diameters, and centerline length before installation. Confirm the vehicle’s engine configuration and upper hose application, especially on Windsor-engine Ford models. Inspect clamps and mating surfaces during replacement to ensure a proper seal.

Quality Assurance

Gates molded coolant hoses are manufactured to OEM-quality specifications for replacement use. Part number 20836 is cross-referenced with FEL-PRO 60853 and Autolite 124 for the same application.
