It is used in the crankcase ventilation system and features clip-on ends at both sides for a direct replacement on the specified routing. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. Compatible with 2006-2012 Ford Fusion, valve cover to intake tube, and 2006-2009 Mercury Milan, valve cover to intake tube. The Gates EMH204 is a practical choice when replacing a cracked, leaking, or disconnected breather hose on a Ford Fusion or Mercury Milan emission control system.

What It Helps Fix

• Cracked or brittle crankcase breather hose
• Vacuum leaks at the valve cover to intake tube connection
• Broken or loose clip-on hose ends
• Emission system airflow disruption
• Oil vapor routing issues in the crankcase ventilation path

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the hose routing, end style, and centerline length before installation. This hose uses clip-on ends and molded construction, so align the connectors carefully to avoid stressing the plastic body. Confirm the vehicle application by year, make, model, and position before ordering. For fitment, use the exact routing listed for 2006-2012 Ford Fusion and 2006-2009 Mercury Milan.
