Detailed Description

Built for coolant transfer service, the Gates 26241 straight silicone heater hose is intended for radiator, heater, and other high-temperature hose routing where a durable straight hose is required. The 5/8 inch inside diameter and 60 psi working pressure make it a practical choice for heater core lines, water pump connections, and other straight coolant passages listed in the fitment data. This part cross-references Dayco 80241GL and Edelmann 80241 for the same application.

Compatible fitment includes 1995-2000 Dodge Stratus, Pipe-3 To Water Pump; 1998-2000 Plymouth Breeze, Pipe-3 To Water Pump; and 2000 Chrysler Cirrus, Pipe-2 To Engine. It also covers long-tail search needs such as straight silicone heater hose for 1994 Dodge Ram 2500 heater-to-valve routing and cut-to-length heater hose for 1989-1993 Dodge D250 and W350 applications.

What It Helps Solve

• Cracked or heat-aged heater hose sections
• Custom-length coolant hose routing on straight runs
• Replacement for worn heater core or water pump hose segments
• High-temperature hose service in radiator and HVAC circuits
• Fitment needs for Chrysler Cirrus, Dodge Stratus, and Plymouth Breeze heater hose applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Measure the required routing before cutting the hose, and follow the application note to cut to the desired length with a minimum 4 inch section where specified. Confirm the 5/8 inch hose size matches the vehicle connection points before installation. This hose is not molded, so it is intended for straight runs where a custom cut provides the correct fit. For vehicles such as the Dodge Ram 2500, Ram 3500, D250, D350, W250, and W350, verify the exact heater, valve, pipe, or canister routing shown in the fitment list.

Quality Assurance

Gates manufactures this silicone heater hose with aramid textile reinforcement for temperature-resistant coolant service. The construction is suited to demanding HVAC and engine cooling use where consistent hose integrity matters.
