Product Details

Gates molded coolant hoses are engineered for upper, lower, bypass, heater, and other coolant routing needs, with dimensions and formed shape intended to match the original hose layout. The Gates 22245 is a lower radiator coolant hose for Lincoln Continental fitments, including lower and lower radiator-to-tee-1 positions. If you are replacing a worn Lincoln Continental lower coolant hose, this part number provides a direct replacement path without needing to source the hose from an OE dealer. This part cross-references Dayco 71844 and Anchor 8885 for the same application.

What This Hose Helps Address

• Coolant leaks from cracked, hardened, or split hose material
• Loss of proper coolant flow through the lower radiator circuit
• Fitment issues caused by incorrect hose shape or length
• Service delays when replacing a Lincoln Continental lower radiator hose
• Cooling-system maintenance on aging molded hose assemblies

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the hose routing, end diameters, and centerline length against the removed part before installation. Confirm whether your vehicle uses the lower or lower radiator-to-tee-1 position listed for the applicable Lincoln Continental year. Inspect adjoining clamps, tees, and radiator necks for wear or corrosion before installing the new hose.
