Gates 22183 Radiator Coolant Hose - Upper

Gates 22183 Molded Coolant Hose Overview

The Gates 22183 molded coolant hose is a radiator coolant hose built to match OEM-style routing and dimensions for select upper hose applications. It uses EPDM and plastic construction with a molded shape to help maintain proper coolant flow and fitment in vehicles such as the Mitsubishi Eclipse, Kia Sedona, Hyundai Entourage, Chrysler Sebring, Dodge Stratus, Infiniti I30, Nissan Maxima, and Mitsubishi Galant.

Gates Molded Coolant Hose products are built for replacement use across upper, lower, bypass, heater, and other cooling-system locations. This line is engineered to simplify radiator hose replacement by matching the shape and fit requirements of the original hose path.

Detailed Description

Gates 22183 is a molded upper radiator coolant hose designed around OEM-quality specifications for vehicles that require a formed hose shape rather than a straight universal hose. The molded profile helps the hose follow the original coolant path, which is important for maintaining proper clearance and routing in tight engine bays. This part number is listed for applications including 2006-2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse, 2006-2011 Kia Sedona, 2007-2009 Hyundai Entourage, 2001-2005 Chrysler Sebring, 2001-2005 Dodge Stratus, 1999-2003 Mitsubishi Galant, 1996-1999 Infiniti I30, and 1995-1999 Nissan Maxima.

This Gates 22183 hose is a practical choice when replacing a worn upper radiator hose on a Nissan Maxima, Infiniti I30, or Mitsubishi Eclipse and you need a formed replacement that matches the original layout. This part cross-references Dayco 71794 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Coolant leaks from a cracked or aged upper radiator hose
• Softening, swelling, or collapse in the original hose
• Poor hose routing after a previous repair
• Heat-related deterioration in EPDM cooling hoses
• Fitment issues caused by using a non-molded replacement hose

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the hose route, end diameters, and centerline length before installation. This hose is listed for upper-position applications only, and some fitments note a protective sleeve requirement on 2000-2001 Infiniti I30 and 2000-2001 Nissan Maxima applications. Inspect clamps, necks, and adjoining cooling-system components before reassembly to help prevent repeat leaks.

Quality Assurance

Gates molded coolant hoses are manufactured to OEM-quality specifications for replacement cooling-system service. The Gates 22183 is part of the brand’s molded coolant hose line, which covers a wide range of radiator, heater, bypass, and other coolant applications.
