The 24525 model exemplifies this approach with its integrated branch and consistent diameter measurements, tailored for the Buick Verano cooling system.

Detailed Product Description

This radiator coolant hose features a molded construction combining EPDM rubber and plastic components, materials known for their resistance to heat, ozone, and coolant chemicals. The hose includes one branch and multiple centerline length measurements, allowing for proper routing within the engine bay. Both ends have an inside diameter of 1.31 inches (33 mm), with an additional branch diameter of 0.75 inches, ensuring compatibility with the Buick Verano’s cooling system connections. The hose does not contain a spring, which is typical for molded coolant hoses designed to maintain shape without additional reinforcement.
