Detailed Product Description

The Gates Molded Coolant Hose 23113 is manufactured from EPDM, a synthetic rubber known for its excellent resistance to heat, ozone, and automotive fluids. This molded radiator coolant hose features a precise centerline length of 21.4 inches (544 mm) and two different inside diameters at each end—1.31 inches (33 mm) and 1.5 inches (38 mm)—to match specific radiator and engine connections. The absence of an internal spring allows for unobstructed coolant flow, reducing the risk of blockages or flow restrictions. The molded construction ensures a consistent shape and fit, minimizing the chance of leaks or hose failure over time.
