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 molded construction, which enhances hose integrity and reduces the risk of leaks or premature failure compared to generic hoses. The 23810 part benefits from this design approach, ensuring it meets Chrysler Pacifica cooling system requirements.

Product Description and Specifications

The Gates 23810 radiator coolant hose is made from EPDM, a synthetic rubber known for its resistance to heat, ozone, and coolant chemicals. The hose features two different inside diameters at each end—1.35 inches (34 mm) and 1.5 inches (38 mm)—to match the specific radiator and engine connections on the Chrysler Pacifica. With a centerline length of 19.4 inches (493 mm), this molded hose fits precisely without the need for modifications. The absence of a spring reinforcement means the hose relies on its molded shape and material strength for durability.
