Gates 22522 Radiator Coolant Hose - Upper

Gates 22522 Molded Coolant Hose

The Gates 22522 molded coolant hose is built for upper radiator hose service on select Saturn applications. It uses EPDM construction and OEM-style molded shaping to match the routing and dimensions needed for a direct replacement.

As part of the Gates Molded Coolant Hose line, this radiator coolant hose is engineered for upper, lower, bypass, heater, and other coolant system positions where a formed hose is required. The Gates 22522 helps simplify radiator hose replacement on Saturn L-series vehicles without needing to source an OE dealer part.

Key Features

• EPDM rubber construction for coolant system use
• Molded design for proper hose routing
• 1.31 in. inside diameter at both ends
• 13.2 in. centerline length
• No spring and no quick-connect fittings
• Direct replacement style for upper coolant hose applications

Detailed Description

This radiator coolant hose is a molded replacement hose with matching end diameters and formed geometry for the cooling system. It is listed for 2004 Saturn L300, 2001-2003 Saturn L200, 2001-2003 Saturn LW200, 2001-2002 Saturn L100, and 2000 Saturn LS, LS1, and LW1 in the upper position. If you are replacing a worn upper radiator hose on a Saturn L300 or another listed Saturn model, Gates 22522 provides the fitment and shape needed for the application.

This part cross-references Dayco 72131 for the same application.

What This Hose Helps Address

• Coolant leaks from a cracked or aged upper radiator hose
• Softening, swelling, or collapse in the cooling hose
• Improper hose routing caused by a non-molded replacement
• Loss of coolant from a damaged Saturn upper coolant hose
• Fitment issues when replacing an OE-shaped radiator hose

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the hose routing, clamps, and mating necks before installation. Drain coolant as needed, compare the molded shape to the original hose, and verify the upper-position routing on the vehicle before final assembly. After installation, refill the cooling system and check for leaks at operating temperature.
