This hose features a molded construction, which provides a precise shape tailored to the cooling system layout of compatible vehicles. With a centerline length of 37.4 inches (950 mm) and consistent inside diameters of 1.19 inches (30 mm) on both ends, it ensures a secure and leak-free connection. The absence of an internal spring allows for unobstructed coolant flow, reducing the risk of blockages or pressure drops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Molded Coolant Hose Product Line\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Molded Coolant Hose line by Gates focuses on delivering hoses that are pre-formed to fit specific vehicle cooling system configurations.
