Gates 20919 Radiator Coolant Hose - Lower or Upper

Gates 20919 Molded Coolant Hose Overview

The Gates 20919 molded coolant hose is an OE-style radiator coolant hose built for upper and lower cooling-system applications where a formed hose is required. Made from EPDM and shaped to match factory routing, it supports direct replacement on a wide range of Ford Econoline vans as well as select Buick, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac models.

Gates Molded Coolant Hose products are built as a broad replacement line for upper, lower, bypass, heater, and other coolant circuits. This line is focused on factory-style fit and application coverage, helping reduce the need to source a hose from the OE dealer for common radiator hose replacement jobs.

Detailed Product Description

Gates 20919 is a molded radiator coolant hose with a 1.5-inch inside diameter at each end and a 19-inch centerline length. The EPDM rubber construction is commonly used in cooling-system service for its resistance to heat and coolant exposure, while the molded shape helps the hose follow the original routing on the vehicle. This makes it a practical choice for Ford E-150 Econoline, E-250 Econoline, E-350 Econoline, and E-100 Econoline applications, along with listed Buick, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac lower-hose applications. If you are replacing a worn Ford Econoline upper radiator hose or a molded lower coolant hose on a classic GM car, Gates 20919 provides the correct formed profile for the listed vehicles.

This part cross-references Dayco 70648 and Continental 60875 for the same application.

• Coolant leaks from cracked, swollen, or aged radiator hose rubber
