Product Details

The EMH251 is a molded crankcase breather hose with multiple branch connections and OE-exact dimensions, including 10 mm, 6 mm, 4 mm, and 5 mm inside diameters where specified. Its 51 mm centerline length and push-in end configuration help it match the original routing used in the emission control system. For Ford Explorer, Ford Explorer Sport Trac, and Mercury Mountaineer models, this hose is intended to restore proper vacuum and ventilation flow at the EGR valve hose location.

Common Issues This Hose Can Address

• Cracked or brittle emission hose material
• Vacuum leaks at the EGR valve hose routing
• Improper crankcase ventilation flow
• Emission system performance concerns caused by a damaged hose
• Fitment problems from non-OE-shaped replacement hoses

Installation Notes

Verify the hose routing, branch layout, and end style against the original part before installation. Confirm the vehicle application by year, make, model, and EGR valve vacuum hose position on the Ford Explorer, Ford Explorer Sport Trac, or Mercury Mountaineer. Inspect adjoining vacuum lines and connectors for wear so the replacement hose seals correctly after installation.
