Gates 21229 Molded Coolant Hose Overview

The Gates 21229 molded coolant hose is an OE-style radiator coolant hose built from EPDM for dependable coolant routing in upper hose applications. It is shaped to match specific engine bay routing needs, helping simplify replacement on vehicles that require a formed hose rather than a universal cut-to-fit length.

Compatible With 1979-1989 Chrysler Conquest, Mitsubishi Starion, Nissan D21, Nissan Pathfinder, Chevrolet Chevette, Pontiac Acadian, Pontiac T1000, Nissan 720, Mazda B2000, Mazda 626, Volkswagen Jetta, Volkswagen Rabbit Convertible, Volkswagen Rabbit Pickup, Audi 4000, Buick Skylark, Chevrolet Citation, Oldsmobile Omega, and Pontiac Phoenix upper hose applications.

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

Product Line Details

Gates Molded Coolant Hose products are built for upper, lower, bypass, heater, and other coolant routing needs. The molded hose line is organized around OEM-quality specifications so technicians can source a formed replacement without relying on dealer-only radiator hose parts. Gates 21229 follows that approach for vehicles that need a shaped upper hose with the correct diameter and routing profile.

Common Replacement Uses

  • Incorrect routing from a previous universal hose installation
  • Restricted coolant flow caused by hose collapse or deformation
  • Service replacement for aging OEM-style coolant hose assemblies

Installation Notes and Quality

Verify end diameters, centerline length, and routing before installation. Some listed applications require cutting to fit, while others use the molded shape as supplied; confirm the vehicle notes for your exact application. Inspect hose clamps, necks, and adjacent cooling-system components during service to prevent repeat leaks.

Gates manufactures this molded coolant hose to OEM-quality specifications for radiator and HVAC coolant routing. Part number 21229 is part of Gates' molded hose line for replacement applications where formed fitment matters.
