Gates EMH296 Engine Crankcase Breather Hose - PCV Valve To Intake or Valve Cover To Intake

OE-Exact Crankcase Breather Hose

Gates EMH296 is an OE-exact engine crankcase breather hose for emission control and crankcase ventilation service. Built from rubber with molded, push-in ends, it restores the factory-style routing needed for proper vapor flow between the valve cover or PCV circuit and the intake.

Compatible with Nissan Pathfinder, Nissan Murano, Nissan Maxima, Nissan Altima, and INFINITI QX60 applications that use this hose path, EMH296 is a direct replacement for common emission hose service on late-model Nissan and INFINITI vehicles.

Detailed Description

The Gates Emission Control Hose line focuses on replacement hoses that match original equipment dimensions and connection style. EMH296 is built as an OE-exact crankcase ventilation and emission control hose, using molded rubber construction to help maintain proper fit at the valve cover-to-intake or PCV valve-to-intake route. For vehicles such as the Nissan Pathfinder, Nissan Murano, Nissan Maxima, Nissan Altima, and INFINITI QX60, this hose helps restore the intended flow path in the emission system.

This part cross-references Nissan 11826JA10B for the same application. Gates EMH296 is a direct-fit service part for emission hose replacement where the factory hose has hardened, cracked, or lost sealing integrity.

What It Is Used For

• Cracked or split crankcase breather hose
• Vacuum leaks at the emission hose connection points
• Oil vapor routing issues in the PCV/emission system
• Hose shrinkage, hardening, or loss of flexibility
• Restoring factory-style intake and valve cover ventilation routing

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the hose path before installation: this application uses either PCV valve-to-intake or valve cover-to-intake routing depending on the vehicle. Confirm the 9 mm inside diameter and molded push-in end style match the original hose before removal. Inspect adjoining fittings, intake ports, and valve cover connections for wear or residue that could affect sealing.

Quality Assurance

Gates builds this emission control hose from high-quality materials for durability and service life, with OE-exact dimensions intended to match the original hose configuration. EMH296 is engineered to restore proper emission system operation when replacing the factory breather hose on listed Nissan and INFINITI applications.
