Product Description and Specifications

This radiator coolant hose features a molded design with two different inside diameters: 1.31 inches (33 mm) on one end and 1.5 inches (38 mm) on the other, accommodating specific radiator and engine connections on the Chevrolet SSR. The centerline length of 13.2 inches (335 mm) ensures proper routing within the engine bay. Made from EPDM, the hose resists heat, ozone, and coolant chemicals, maintaining integrity over time. The absence of an internal spring allows for unobstructed coolant flow, reducing the risk of blockages.
