The molded construction of the 22764 hose ensures a secure fit and reliable sealing in the cooling system.

Technical Description of Part Number 22764

The Gates 22764 radiator coolant hose is manufactured from EPDM, a synthetic rubber known for its resistance to heat, ozone, and automotive fluids. The hose features two different inside diameters at each end—1.75 inches (44 mm) and 2 inches (51 mm)—to accommodate specific radiator and engine connections. With a centerline length of 39.2 inches (996 mm), this molded hose is designed to fit vehicles requiring this exact dimension. The absence of an internal spring allows for flexibility while maintaining structural integrity. This hose does not include any branches or quick connect fittings, simplifying installation and maintenance.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement of worn or cracked radiator coolant hoses in compatible vehicles
• Prevention of coolant leaks caused by hose degradation or improper fit
• Addressing overheating issues related to coolant flow restrictions
• Ensuring proper coolant circulation in vehicles requiring a molded hose with specified diameters and length
• Maintaining system pressure without hose collapse due to flexible EPDM construction

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Gates Molded Coolant Hose 22764, verify the hose dimensions against your vehicle’s radiator and engine inlet/outlet sizes to ensure compatibility. The molded design requires proper alignment to avoid stress points. Use appropriate clamps to secure each end firmly without over-tightening, which could damage the hose. Inspect the cooling system for any debris or corrosion before installation to prolong hose life.
