Detailed Description

Gates EMH248 is an engine crankcase breather hose used in the emission control system to route vapors between the valve cover and intake tube. It is built from plastic and formed to the OE shape so the hose follows the original path and connection points.

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the hose routing, end style, and centerline length against the original part before installation. This EMH248 hose uses clip-on ends and molded construction, so proper alignment with the valve cover and intake tube connection points is important for a secure seal. Inspect adjoining PCV and ventilation components during service to avoid repeat failures.
