This molded radiator coolant hose features a precise centerline length of 15.2 inches (386 mm) and two different inside diameters at each end—1.25 inches (32 mm) and 1.5 inches (38 mm)—to match the specific hose connections on compatible vehicles. The absence of an internal spring enhances flexibility and reduces the risk of hose collapse or damage under pressure. This hose is not modular and does not include quick connect fittings, ensuring a straightforward replacement part for the cooling system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Molded Coolant Hose Product Line\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Gates Molded Coolant Hose line focuses on delivering hoses that are pre-formed to exact OEM specifications.
