Overview

The Gates 52475 molded radiator coolant hose is built for upper coolant routing with OEM-quality specifications. It is formed to match the required shape for direct replacement service on select Ford and Starcraft Bus applications, including Ford E-350 Super Duty and Ford E-450 Super Duty models.

Key Features

• EPDM construction for coolant system durability.
• Molded shape for accurate routing and fit.
• 1.5 in. and 1.75 in. end inside diameters for the specified connection points.

• Gates Molded Coolant Hose line covers upper, lower, bypass, heater, and other coolant hose needs.

Detailed Description

Gates 52475 is a molded coolant hose designed for upper radiator hose service where a formed hose is required to follow the factory routing. The EPDM construction is suited to coolant exposure, while the molded profile helps maintain the correct path through the engine bay. This part cross-references F12118 and LC2Z 8260 A for the same application. It is a practical replacement choice for Ford E-350 Super Duty, Ford E-450 Super Duty, and Starcraft Bus Starlite applications that call for this hose configuration.

What It Helps Solve

• Cracked or deteriorated coolant hose material.
• Incorrect hose routing from a non-molded replacement.
• Leaks at the specified hose connection diameters.
• Cooling system service needs on upper hose applications.

Installation Notes

Verify the hose shape, end diameters, and centerline length against the removed part before installation. Confirm the vehicle uses the upper hose configuration listed in the fitment data. Gates 52475 should be matched to the exact application shown for Ford E-350 Super Duty, Ford E-450 Super Duty, and Starcraft Bus Starlite.
