Gates 52525 HVAC Heater Hose - Reservoir (Lower)

Overview

Gates 52525 is a molded coolant hose built for specific HVAC and cooling-system applications. It uses EPDM and plastic construction and follows an OE-style layout with integrated branches and connection points for a precise replacement fit.

Compatible With 2013-2017 Ford Focus reservoir (lower) applications, this molded hose is shaped to match the original routing and connection requirements. The Gates Molded Coolant Hose line is engineered for application-specific fitment where standard straight hose cannot duplicate the factory path.

Key Features

• EPDM and plastic construction for coolant-system service.
• Molded shape with two branches for application-specific routing.
• Integrated OE-style components for a factory-like connection layout.
• Centerline length of 46.5 in. for the specified application.
• Gates part number 52525 for direct identification.

Detailed Description

Gates 52525 is a molded coolant hose designed around the original equipment layout used in select Ford Focus cooling-system applications. The hose includes branch routing and integrated connection features that help match the factory configuration, making it suitable where a formed hose is required instead of a universal replacement. This part cross-references Ford CV6Z 8075 T and F12152 for the same application.

For buyers searching for a Ford Focus heater hose or molded coolant hose replacement, Gates 52525 provides the correct formed profile for the reservoir (lower) location.
