The hose has two different inside diameters at each end—1.31 inches (33 mm) and 1.47 inches (37 mm)—to accommodate specific radiator and engine connections. With a centerline length of 17 inches (432 mm), it fits precisely within the cooling system layout of the Lexus Highlander, RX330, and RX400h. The absence of an internal spring reduces the risk of hose collapse and improves durability under varying pressure conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Applications and Problem Solving\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement of worn or cracked radiator coolant hoses in Lexus Highlander, RX330, and RX400h\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResolving coolant leaks caused by hose degradation or improper fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreventing overheating issues related to compromised coolant flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddressing hose swelling or softening due to heat exposure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaintaining system pressure integrity without internal spring failure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsure the engine is cool before removing the old hose to avoid burns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck all hose clamps and replace if corroded or damaged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVerify the correct orientation of the hose based on the molded shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspect connecting fittings for damage or corrosion prior to installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTighten clamps securely but avoid over-tightening to prevent hose damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGates Molded Coolant Hose 22926 is manufactured to meet or exceed OEM standards for fit, form, and function.
