Gates 26200 Intercooler Hose

Turbocharger Hose for Heavy-Duty Diesel Applications

The Gates 26200 Turbocharger Hose (Ring-Retained) is built for turbocharged Class 8 and heavy-duty diesel engines that need a secure intercooler hose connection. Its multi-hump construction helps isolate vibration and absorb rotational shock in demanding engine bay conditions.

Gates Green Stripe ring-retained turbocharger hose products are engineered for heavy-duty cooling and charge-air routing where stable sealing and durability matter. This Gates 26200 hose follows that product line approach with a ring-retained design that helps maintain hose integrity under operating stress.

• Inside diameter: 3 in. (76 mm)
• Centerline length: 6 in. (152 mm)
• Working pressure: 25 psi
• Ring quantity: 3
• Multi-hump design for vibration isolation and rotational shock absorption
• Ring-retained construction for turbocharger and intercooler hose service

Detailed Product Overview

This intercooler hose is designed for turbocharged diesel engine charge-air systems where a stable, ring-retained connection is required. The 3-inch inside diameter and 6-inch centerline length make the Gates 26200 a direct-spec hose for heavy-duty routing needs, while the multi-hump profile helps manage movement and stress in service. For buyers searching for a Gates 26200 intercooler hose, a ring-retained turbocharger hose, or a 3 inch heavy-duty diesel turbo hose, this part is built around those exact requirements. It is also a relevant replacement choice for Class 8 truck and heavy-duty diesel engine service where the original hose uses a three-ring design.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems This Hose Can Address

• Charge-air hose movement caused by engine vibration
• Stress at the turbocharger hose connection point
• Loss of hose integrity from rotational shock
• Replacement needs for a worn ring-retained intercooler hose
• Service requirements on heavy-duty diesel and Class 8 truck systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the hose dimensions, ring count, and connection style against the original part before installation. Confirm that the turbocharger and intercooler connection points are clean and free of damage so the ring-retained hose seats correctly. For fitment-based searches, this Gates 26200 hose is commonly referenced for heavy-duty diesel truck applications rather than passenger vehicles, including Class 8 platforms and diesel engine service where the original hose specification matches.

Quality Assurance

Gates manufactures this hose for heavy-duty turbocharger and charge-air use with a design focused on maintaining structural integrity under operating stress. The ring-retained construction and multi-hump profile reflect the demands of turbocharged diesel service, including applications such as Freightliner and Peterbilt truck platforms when the OE specification matches this part.
