Durable Construction and Material Details

This Gates radiator coolant hose features EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber, known for its excellent resistance to heat, ozone, and coolant chemicals. The 2-ply construction adds strength and flexibility, reducing the risk of hose failure due to cracking or bursting. Both ends of the hose maintain a consistent inside diameter of 2.75 inches (70 mm), ensuring compatibility with standard radiator and engine fittings. With a centerline length of 36 inches (914 mm), this hose accommodates longer coolant system runs without compromising flow efficiency.
