Detailed Description
Gates 21960 is a molded radiator coolant hose made for upper hose applications where the factory routing requires a formed shape rather than a straight hose.

The Gates 21960 part number is also useful when cross-checking catalog listings and service references.
This molded coolant hose line is positioned for replacement work where accurate fit and hose routing matter. Gates 21960 cross-references Continental 61680 and Dayco 71654 for the same application.
