Detailed Product Description

The Gates Molded Coolant Hose 22140 is engineered from EPDM, a synthetic rubber known for its excellent resistance to heat, ozone, and automotive fluids. This hose features a molded construction that ensures a precise shape and fit, reducing the risk of leaks and improving coolant flow efficiency. With an end 1 inside diameter of 2 inches (51 mm) and an end 2 inside diameter of 2.5 inches (64 mm), it accommodates varying radiator and engine connections. The centerline length of 20.3 inches (516 mm) provides the necessary reach for specific radiator coolant routing. This hose does not contain a spring reinforcement, making it suitable for applications where flexibility and vibration absorption are required without added stiffness.

The Molded Coolant Hose product line by Gates focuses on delivering hoses that are pre-formed to exact OEM specifications. This reduces installation time and ensures compatibility with the vehicle’s cooling system. The molded design also helps maintain consistent coolant flow and prevents hose collapse under vacuum conditions.
