Technical Description of Part Number 23332

This radiator coolant hose features a molded construction using EPDM, a synthetic rubber known for its resistance to heat, ozone, and coolant chemicals. The hose has two different inside diameters at each end—1.06 inches (27 mm) on one side and 1.22 inches (31 mm) on the other—allowing it to connect securely between radiator components. With a centerline length of 12 inches (305 mm), it fits precisely within the engine bay layout of compatible Honda Civic models. The absence of an internal spring ensures unobstructed coolant flow, reducing the risk of blockages.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

• Replacement of worn or cracked radiator coolant hoses on Honda Civic vehicles
• Resolving coolant leaks caused by hose degradation or improper fit
