Gates 22116 Radiator Coolant Hose - Upper

Gates 22116 Molded Coolant Hose

The Gates 22116 molded coolant hose is built for radiator coolant routing in upper hose applications that require an OEM-style formed shape. Made from EPDM and plastic, it provides a direct-fit replacement option for select Buick, Cadillac, and Chevrolet vehicles from 1994 to 1996.

As part of the Gates Molded Coolant Hose line, this hose is engineered for common cooling-system service needs, including upper, lower, bypass, and heater hose applications where a molded profile is required. The Gates 22116 is a practical replacement choice for owners servicing a 1994-1996 Chevrolet Caprice, 1994-1996 Chevrolet Impala, or 1994-1996 Buick Roadmaster.
