These hoses are designed to maintain structural integrity under high temperatures and pressures, making them suitable for radiator coolant systems requiring reliable sealing and flexibility. Part number 28359 is a molded radiator coolant hose that fits specific vehicle applications where a 2.5-inch inside diameter and an 8.5-inch length are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details and Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis radiator coolant hose features a molded silicone construction that resists cracking, swelling, and degradation caused by heat and coolant chemicals. Both ends have an inside diameter of 2.5 inches (64 mm), ensuring compatibility with standard radiator fittings. The hose length of 8.5 inches (216 mm) centerline length allows for precise fitment in cooling circuits without the need for additional modifications. The absence of internal springs and quick connect fittings reduces potential flow restrictions and leak points.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Applications and Problem Solving\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement of worn or cracked radiator coolant hoses in vehicles requiring 2.5-inch diameter hoses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResolving coolant leaks caused by deteriorated rubber hoses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpgrading to silicone hoses for improved heat resistance and longevity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEliminating hose collapse or deformation under high engine temperatures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsuring consistent coolant flow in OEM or aftermarket cooling systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen installing the Gates Molded Coolant Hose (Silicone) 28359, ensure the hose is properly seated on radiator and engine fittings to prevent leaks.
