Gates 20926 Radiator Coolant Hose - Lower
Radiator Coolant Hose for OEM-Style Cooling Repair
Gates 20926 is a molded radiator coolant hose built for upper, lower, bypass, heater, and other coolant routing applications that require an OEM-style shape and fit. Made from EPDM, it is formed to match the contours needed for reliable coolant transfer in service replacements.
This molded coolant hose is part of the Gates Molded Coolant Hose line, a broad replacement range for radiator hose service on many vehicle cooling systems. It is a practical choice when replacing a worn hose on applications such as Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla cooling repairs where a formed hose profile is required.

Product Details
Gates 20926 is engineered as a molded coolant hose for radiator and heater circuit service where a straight hose will not follow the original routing. The EPDM material is commonly used in cooling-system hoses for its resistance to heat and coolant exposure, while the molded shape helps match the vehicle’s factory hose path. If you are replacing a formed hose on a Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla, this Gates 20926 hose provides the dimensions needed for a direct-style replacement in the correct application.
This part cross-references Continental 60977 for the same application.
Common Problems This Hose Can Address
- Coolant leaks from a cracked or aged molded hose
- Softening, swelling, or collapse in the original hose
- Improper hose routing after a previous repair
- Loss of coolant from a split radiator hose connection
- Cooling-system service on a Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla with a formed hose requirement
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the hose shape, end diameters, and centerline length against the removed part before installation. Inspect adjoining clamps, necks, and fittings for corrosion or damage, and replace any worn components that could affect sealing. Confirm the hose is routed without twist or tension so it follows the original cooling-system path.
Quality Assurance
Gates manufactures molded coolant hoses to OEM-quality specifications for replacement cooling-system service. The Gates Molded Coolant Hose line is built to cover a wide range of radiator, bypass, and heater hose applications with formed-fit replacement geometry.
