Detailed Description
Gates part number 52530 is a molded HVAC heater hose engineered for application-specific fitment.

The Gates Molded Coolant Hose product line is built around modular coolant hose assemblies that follow OEM-style specifications. That includes integrated features such as branches, connectors, sensors, and restrictors where the application requires them.
