Product Details

Gates 23836 is part of the Defroster/Air Intake Hose product line, which focuses on flexible ducting for HVAC and air-handling routes that do not require high-pressure hose construction. The 2.25-inch inside diameter and 6-foot centerline length make this hose a practical choice when replacing worn or damaged ducting in a vehicle’s defroster or intake path. It is also approved for marine applications, adding versatility for low-suction air routing needs. This part cross-references Dayco 80169 for the same application.

For vehicle-specific search intent, this hose is a direct match for 1983 Mitsubishi Cordia and 1983 Mitsubishi Tredia defroster/air intake hose applications. If you are sourcing a Gates 23836 replacement for a 1983 Mitsubishi Cordia or 1983 Mitsubishi Tredia, verify the hose diameter and routing length against the original part before installation.

Common Uses

  • Restoring defroster airflow after cracked or collapsed duct hose
  • Replacing air intake hose sections with heat- or age-damaged tubing
  • Repairing low-pressure HVAC duct routing in the cabin or under the hood
  • Addressing restricted airflow caused by splits, soft spots, or hose deformation
  • Replacing a missing or incorrect 2.25 in. defroster hose on 1983 Mitsubishi Cordia or Tredia

Installation Notes

Measure the existing hose path before installation to confirm the 2.25 in. inside diameter and 6 ft. centerline length match the vehicle routing. Check for secure fit at each connection point, and inspect nearby HVAC or intake components for cracks, loose clamps, or obstructions that could affect airflow. For 1983 Mitsubishi Cordia and 1983 Mitsubishi Tredia applications, compare the original hose shape and routing to ensure proper defroster performance.

Quality Assurance

Gates manufactures this hose for low-pressure HVAC and air-intake service, with application coverage that includes automotive and approved marine use. The Gates 23836 part number is supported by interchange references for easier cross-matching during replacement selection.
