Flexible coolant hose for OE-style replacement
The Gates Vulco-Flex II radiator coolant hose is built for lower and upper cooling-system routing where a formed hose is difficult to source. With a flexible EPDM and steel construction, it bends in almost any direction and helps replicate the angles and planes of many OE coolant hose layouts for a direct replacement approach.
Compatible With 1965-1970 Jeep Wagoneer upper and 1965-1968 Jeep Wagoneer lower applications, plus select Chevrolet Chevette, Pontiac Acadian, Pontiac T1000, Chevrolet Monza, Oldsmobile Starfire, Pontiac Sunbird, and 1995 Jeep Wrangler lower hose applications. Part number 25526 is also listed across multiple aftermarket cross-references for the same application.
Key features
- Flexible radiator coolant hose for lower and upper cooling-system routing
- EPDM and steel construction for durability in engine-bay heat and coolant exposure
- Improved sealing surface for stronger leak resistance at the connection points
- Unmolded design that can replace many expensive OE hose shapes
- End sizes: 1.5 in. (38 mm) and 1.75 in. (44 mm)
- Centerline length: 13.2 in. (335 mm)
Product details
Gates Flexible Coolant Hose (Standard), part number 25526, is designed for radiator coolant hose replacement where a conventional molded hose may not match the required routing. The flexible construction helps it follow tight bends and offset angles while maintaining a secure sealing surface at the hose ends. This makes it a practical choice for restoring cooling-system integrity on older vehicles and mixed-fitment applications, including Jeep Wagoneer and Jeep Wrangler lower hose service as well as select Chevrolet and Pontiac compact-car applications.
What it helps solve
- Coolant leaks caused by aged, cracked, or hardened hoses
- Fitment issues when an OE molded hose is no longer available
- Routing problems in lower radiator hose replacement jobs
- Cooling-system service on vehicles with unusual hose angles or planes
- Replacement of deteriorated hoses on Jeep Wagoneer, Jeep Wrangler, Chevrolet Chevette, and Pontiac Acadian applications
Installation notes and tips
Verify end diameters, centerline length, and routing before installation. This hose is not molded, so confirm that the flexible shape matches the vehicle’s hose path and clearance around belts, pulleys, and nearby components. Clean the hose necks before installation and inspect clamps, thermostat housing, radiator outlets, and adjoining pipes for wear or corrosion. Part number 25526 is listed for lower and upper positions depending on application, so match the vehicle-specific fitment notes carefully.
Quality assurance
Gates Vulco-Flex II hoses are engineered for replacement use in cooling systems with an emphasis on sealing performance and durable construction. Gates part number 25526 cross-references with select aftermarket numbers such as Dayco 81231 and Continental 52414 for the same application.
