Detailed Description

Gates 22005 is a molded radiator coolant hose engineered for upper hose applications where the factory routing requires a formed shape rather than a straight hose. The EPDM and plastic construction supports coolant-system service needs while matching the dimensions listed for the application.

This part cross-references Dayco 71622 for the same application.

Common Problems This Hose Can Address

• Cracked or split upper radiator hose
• Coolant leaks at the hose body
• Softening, swelling, or heat damage from age
• Poor hose routing caused by a misshaped replacement
• Cooling system service on Mitsubishi Mirage and Dodge Colt upper hose applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify end diameters and centerline length against the original hose before installation. Inspect hose clamps, mating necks, and nearby cooling components for wear or corrosion before refitting the hose. Confirm the hose is routed without kinks or twist so coolant flow is not restricted.

Quality Assurance

Gates molded coolant hoses are manufactured to OEM-quality specifications and built for a broad range of replacement cooling applications. The Gates molded coolant hose line is designed to cover common upper, lower, bypass, and heater hose needs with application-specific fitment.
