Gates 52483 Radiator Coolant Hose - Lower

Gates Molded Coolant Hose 52483 Overview

The Gates 52483 molded coolant hose is an OE-style radiator coolant hose built for specific lower cooling-system applications. It uses EPDM construction and molded shaping to match the routing required for a clean, direct replacement on select Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models.

Key Features

• EPDM rubber construction for coolant-system service.
• Molded design follows the original hose path.
• Fits lower radiator coolant hose applications.
• OEM-quality specifications for replacement use.
• Part number 52483 for easy identification.

Detailed Description

Gates 52483 is part of the Molded Coolant Hose line, a product family focused on replacement hoses for upper, lower, bypass, heater, and other coolant circuits. This hose is shaped for the application rather than cut from universal stock, which helps maintain the factory routing and connection geometry. It fits 2018-2020 Chevrolet Equinox, lower, and 2018-2020 GMC Terrain, lower. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 84129279, F12122) for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Address

• Cracked or aged coolant hose material.
• Leaks at the lower radiator hose path.
• Incorrect hose routing from a previous repair.
• Fitment issues with non-molded replacement hoses.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify hose routing, end diameters, and centerline length before installation. The hose measures 21.75 inches centerline length with 1.1-inch end diameters and does not contain a spring. Confirm the vehicle uses the lower molded coolant hose configuration listed in the fitment data before ordering.

Quality Assurance

Gates molded coolant hoses are manufactured to OEM-quality specifications and are part of a broad replacement hose line covering multiple coolant applications.
