Details on the Molded Coolant Hose Product Line

The Molded Coolant Hose line by Gates focuses on delivering hoses that are pre-formed to exact specifications, reducing installation time and improving fitment accuracy. This product line emphasizes durability and resistance to common coolant system stresses, making it suitable for vehicles requiring precise hose dimensions and reliable performance, such as the Pontiac Vibe and Toyota Corolla.

Product Description and Specifications

The Gates Molded Coolant Hose 23519 is manufactured from EPDM, a synthetic rubber known for its excellent resistance to heat, ozone, and coolant chemicals. The hose features a molded shape that matches the original equipment specifications, ensuring a proper fit without the need for modifications. With an inside diameter of 1.18 inches (30 mm) on one end and 1.3 inches (33 mm) on the other, and a centerline length of 12.9 inches (328 mm), this hose is designed to maintain optimal coolant flow and system pressure. The absence of an internal spring allows for unobstructed fluid movement, reducing the risk of flow restriction or hose collapse under pressure.
