Gates 22147 Radiator Coolant Hose - Lower

Gates 22147 Molded Coolant Hose Overview

The Gates 22147 molded coolant hose is a radiator coolant hose built to OEM-quality specifications for lower cooling-system routing. It is formed from EPDM for dependable coolant resistance and is shaped to match the original hose path on select Mercury Villager and Nissan Quest applications.

Gates Molded Coolant Hose products are built as application-specific replacement hoses for upper, lower, bypass, heater, and other coolant circuits. This line is engineered to simplify radiator hose replacement on vehicles that require a molded shape rather than a universal straight hose.
