Detailed Product Description

The Gates Molded Coolant Hose 22001 is engineered from EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber, a material known for its excellent resistance to heat, ozone, and coolant chemicals. This molded radiator coolant hose features a centerline length of 16.2 inches (411 mm), with two different inside diameters at each end—1.25 inches (32 mm) on one side and 1.5 inches (38 mm) on the other—allowing it to connect seamlessly within the cooling system of Chrysler Concorde and Dodge Intrepid vehicles. The absence of an internal spring reduces flow restrictions and potential failure points, while the molded construction ensures a precise fit that maintains system integrity under operating conditions.
