Detailed Product Description

Gates 22133 is a molded radiator coolant hose engineered for lower hose service where the original routing requires a formed shape rather than a straight hose. The EPDM material is commonly used in cooling-system hoses for its resistance to heat and coolant exposure, while the molded design helps match the vehicle’s factory hose path. This makes it a practical replacement for service on 1994-1996 Buick Century, 1996 Chevrolet Lumina APV, 1994-1996 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, 1996 Oldsmobile Silhouette, 1996 Pontiac Trans Sport, and 1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser.

This part cross-references Continental 62090 for the same application. The Gates 22133 part number is also useful when verifying catalog interchange and fitment during radiator hose replacement.

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the hose routing, end diameters, and centerline length before installation. Drain coolant as needed, inspect the mating necks and clamps, and replace any hose that shows swelling, soft spots, or surface cracking. Verify that the molded shape matches the original lower hose path on the vehicle before final assembly.
