Product Description and Specifications

The Gates Molded Coolant Hose 51419 is a radiator coolant hose designed to maintain optimal coolant circulation in Mercedes-Benz E350 and E550 vehicles. Its construction from EPDM rubber, plastic, and steel provides resistance to heat, pressure, and chemical degradation commonly found in cooling systems. The hose measures 24.25 inches (616 mm) in centerline length, with end diameters of 1.3 inches (33 mm) and 1.4 inches (36 mm) to match OEM specifications. The absence of internal springs reduces potential failure points, while the inclusion of three quick connect fittings—female quick connector and two Henn quick connectors (male and female)—ensures secure and modular connections within the cooling system.

Common Applications and Problem Solving
