Detailed Product Description

This radiator coolant hose, part number 24823, is molded from EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber, a material known for its excellent resistance to heat, ozone, and coolant chemicals. The hose features a centerline length of 17.55 inches (446 mm) and consistent inside diameters of 1.06 inches (27 mm) on both ends, ensuring a secure and leak-free connection within the cooling system. The absence of an internal spring allows for unobstructed coolant flow, reducing the risk of blockages or pressure drops. This hose is specifically designed for Subaru Legacy and Outback models, providing a direct replacement that meets factory specifications.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

• Replacement of worn or cracked radiator coolant hoses
• Prevention of coolant leaks that can cause engine overheating
• Restoration of proper coolant flow in Subaru Legacy and Outback cooling systems
• Addressing hose swelling or softening due to heat exposure
• Eliminating coolant contamination from degraded hose materials

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the engine is cool before removing the old hose to avoid burns. Verify that the hose routing matches the original to prevent kinks or interference with other engine components. Use appropriate clamps to secure the hose ends firmly without over-tightening, which can damage the hose. Inspect adjacent cooling system components for wear during installation to maintain overall system integrity.
