Gates 24096 Lower Coolant Hose

The Gates Molded Coolant Hose 24096 is a lower radiator coolant hose built to OEM-quality specifications for direct replacement service. It is formed from EPDM for coolant-system durability and shaped to match the factory routing on select Buick and Chevrolet applications.

Compatible with 2014 Buick Regal, lower; 2014 Chevrolet Impala, lower; and 2013-2014 Chevrolet Malibu, lower, this molded hose supports accurate fitment where a straight universal hose will not match the original path.

Product Details

This hose is shaped for the lower cooling circuit on the listed Buick Regal, Chevrolet Impala, and Chevrolet Malibu applications, helping restore the original hose path and connection geometry.

What It Helps Address

• Coolant leaks from a cracked or aged lower hose
• Softening, swelling, or collapse of the original hose
• Improper hose routing after a previous repair
• Loss of coolant circulation caused by hose deterioration
• Fitment issues from using a non-molded replacement hose

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle year, make, model, and lower-hose routing before installation. Compare the hose end diameters and centerline length to the original part to confirm match-up on the Buick Regal, Chevrolet Impala, or Chevrolet Malibu application. Drain coolant as needed, inspect adjoining clamps and necks for wear, and ensure the hose is seated fully before refilling and bleeding the cooling system.

Gates manufactures this molded coolant hose to OEM-quality specifications for replacement use in the cooling system. The Gates 24096 is built as a formed radiator coolant hose for the listed applications and follows the brand’s molded hose replacement line coverage.
