Product Details

Gates Molded Coolant Hose line is engineered for radiator, heater, bypass, and other coolant routing needs using OEM-quality specifications. Part number 22185 is a molded hose with a 34 mm end-to-end diameter and a 450 mm centerline length, making it a direct-fit style replacement for vehicles that use a formed hose path rather than a universal straight hose. This Gates 22185 hose is listed for Nissan Pickup, Nissan Frontier, Nissan Xterra, Nissan D21, and Mitsubishi Montero Sport applications where the cooling system calls for the specified molded configuration.

This part cross-references Continental 62455 for the same application.

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle year, make, model, and hose position before installation. Compare the molded shape, 34 mm end diameters, and 17.7 in. centerline length to the original hose to confirm routing and connection points. Drain coolant as needed, inspect adjoining necks and clamps for wear, and replace any damaged sealing surfaces before installing the new hose.
