• Maintaining system pressure and preventing hose collapse

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the vehicle’s cooling system is cool before removing the old hose to avoid burns. Verify the hose orientation matches the original to maintain proper coolant flow. Use appropriate clamps to secure the hose ends without over-tightening, which can damage the EPDM material. Inspect adjacent components for wear during installation to prevent future leaks.
