Gates 20838 Molded Coolant Hose Overview
The Gates 20838 molded coolant hose is an OE-style radiator coolant hose built for upper cooling-system routing on select Chevrolet and GMC vans. Made from EPDM, it follows OEM-quality specifications for a direct replacement on vehicles that need a formed hose shape and precise 1.5-inch end connections.
Gates Molded Coolant Hose parts are built for upper, lower, bypass, heater, and other coolant applications, giving technicians a formed-hose replacement option that matches the routing required by the vehicle. For Chevrolet G10, G20, and G30 and GMC G15, G25, and G35 applications, this line supports radiator hose service without needing to source an OE dealer part.

Detailed Product Description
This molded radiator coolant hose is built for direct replacement use on select 1972-1979 Chevrolet and GMC vans, including upper hose applications on Chevrolet G10, G20, and G30 as well as GMC G15, G25, G35, G1500, G2500, and G3500 models. The Gates 20838 uses EPDM construction and a formed profile to match the cooling-system path required by these vehicles. If you are replacing a worn upper hose on a Chevrolet G10 or GMC G15, this part number provides the correct molded layout for the listed standard-cooling, non-AC applications.
What This Hose Helps Address
- Coolant leaks from cracked or aged radiator hose material
- Softening, swelling, or collapse in an old upper coolant hose
- Incorrect hose routing after a previous repair
- Cooling-system service on vehicles with standard cooling and no air conditioning
- Replacement needs for a formed hose on Chevrolet and GMC van applications
Installation Notes and Tips
- Verify the vehicle is listed for this hose before ordering; fitment is specific to upper-position applications.
- Confirm the vehicle does not have air conditioning where the fitment notes specify non-AC use.
- Inspect hose clamps, thermostat housing, and radiator necks before installation.
- Check the hose routing against the original part to confirm the molded shape and length.
- Refill and bleed the cooling system according to the vehicle service procedure after installation.
