Gates 22224 Radiator Coolant Hose - Lower

Gates 22224 Molded Coolant Hose Overview

The Gates 22224 molded coolant hose is a direct-fit radiator coolant hose for select Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth applications. Built from EPDM and formed to OEM-style dimensions, it supports lower cooling-system routing where a shaped hose is required for proper fit and flow.

Gates Molded Coolant Hose line covers upper, lower, bypass, heater, and other coolant applications with OE-style specifications. This makes the Gates 22224 a practical replacement choice when servicing a lower radiator hose on vehicles such as the Dodge Caravan, Dodge Grand Caravan, Plymouth Voyager, Plymouth Grand Voyager, and Chrysler Voyager.

Detailed Description

Gates 22224 is a molded radiator coolant hose engineered for lower cooling-system routing where a straight hose will not maintain the correct path or clearance. Its EPDM construction is suited to coolant exposure, while the molded shape and OE-style dimensions help match the original hose layout on the vehicle. This part number is used across 1996-2000 Dodge Caravan, 1996-2000 Plymouth Voyager, 1996-1997 Dodge Grand Caravan, 1996-1997 Plymouth Grand Voyager, and 2000 Chrysler Voyager lower hose applications.

This part cross-references Dayco 71859 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Cracked or split lower radiator hose
• Coolant leaks at a worn molded hose section
• Incorrect hose routing after a previous repair
• Heat-related hose deterioration in the cooling system
• Fitment issues caused by using a non-molded replacement hose

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, make, model, and lower hose routing before installation. Compare the original hose shape, end diameters, and centerline length to confirm the replacement matches the cooling-system layout. Inspect adjoining clamps, necks, and coolant passages for wear or corrosion before installing the new hose.

Quality Assurance

Gates manufactures molded coolant hoses to OEM-quality specifications for radiator, bypass, heater, and other coolant applications. The Gates molded coolant hose line is built to cover a broad range of replacement needs while maintaining application-specific fitment.
