Product Details

Gates 24453 is a molded radiator coolant hose engineered for vehicles that use a modular hose assembly rather than a simple straight hose. The design includes a branch section and three female quick-connect fittings, along with molded shaping to follow the factory cooling path. Gates positions this hose line as an OE-style replacement for applications that require integrated hose components such as branches and connectors. This part cross-references Continental 67130 for the same application.

For buyers searching for a 2011-2014 Ford F-150 lower radiator hose or a 2012 Ford F-350 lower coolant hose, Gates 24453 provides a direct-fit service part for the specified lower position. The molded construction helps maintain the original hose routing and connection style used in these Ford cooling systems.

What It Helps Address

• Coolant leaks from a cracked or aged lower hose
• Damaged quick-connect fittings at the radiator hose connection points
• Loss of proper hose routing after hose collapse or deformation
• Service replacement for a modular coolant hose assembly
• Cooling system maintenance on Ford F-150 and Ford F-350 lower hose applications

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle year, make, model, and lower hose routing before installation. Compare the original hose shape, branch layout, and connector style to the Gates 24453 assembly. Confirm the end diameters and quick-connect configuration match the removed part before service. Proper cooling system refill and bleed procedures should be followed after installation.

Quality Assurance

Gates is a recognized aftermarket supplier of modular coolant hose assemblies and produces this hose to application-specific specifications that reflect OE-style component integration. The molded design, material selection, and connector layout are intended to match the original cooling system configuration for the listed Ford applications.
