Gates 51436 Radiator Coolant Hose - Lower

Overview

The Gates 51436 molded radiator coolant hose is built for specific cooling system applications that require an OE-style molded layout and integrated connection points. It uses EPDM and plastic construction to match the shape and function needed for a direct-fit coolant hose replacement.

Compatible With Mercedes-Benz S430 and Mercedes-Benz S500 lower coolant hose applications, this molded hose follows the application-specific design expected in modular cooling assemblies. The Gates 51436 part number is also useful when cross-checking replacement options for the same application.

Key Features

• Molded coolant hose design for application-specific routing.
• EPDM and plastic construction for cooling system use.
• Female quick connector included in the hose assembly design.
• Integrated OE-style components for a factory-like fit.
• Gates Molded Coolant Hose line for modular cooling system service.

Detailed Description

The Gates 51436 radiator coolant hose is engineered for modular cooling assemblies that require a molded shape and integrated connection features. Its construction reflects OEM-style specifications, including built-in components such as quick-connectors and other application-specific elements used in modern cooling systems. This makes it a practical replacement for Mercedes-Benz S430 and Mercedes-Benz S500 lower hose service where the original hose assembly uses the same configuration.

Gates Molded Coolant Hose products are designed around specific vehicle applications rather than universal sizing, which helps maintain the original hose path and connection style. If you are replacing a lower coolant hose on a Mercedes-Benz S430 or Mercedes-Benz S500, the Gates 51436 part number should be matched to the original assembly details before installation.

This part cross-references Interchanges (e.g., 2205014582, F12064) for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a leaking or cracked lower radiator coolant hose.
• Restoring proper coolant flow through the cooling system.
• Addressing damaged quick-connector style hose connections.
• Correcting hose fitment issues caused by aging molded assemblies.
• Servicing OE-style modular coolant hose layouts.

Installation Notes

Verify the hose routing, connector style, and end dimensions against the original part before installation. Confirm the molded shape and integrated connector details match the vehicle’s cooling system layout. The Gates 51436 should be installed only on the applications listed in the fitment data.

Quality Assurance

Gates is recognized in the automotive aftermarket for modular coolant hose assemblies that follow OEM-style application requirements and integrated component design.
