Detailed Product Description

This URO HVAC Heater Hose (part number 4961074) is molded from EPDM, a synthetic rubber known for its excellent resistance to heat, ozone, and automotive fluids. The hose measures 17.25 inches in length with a consistent inside diameter of 0.58 inches (14.7 mm) on both ends, ensuring a secure and leak-free connection within the HVAC system. The working pressure rating of 50 PSI supports typical heater core and HVAC system pressures, making it suitable for maintaining proper coolant flow and temperature regulation in Saab 9-3 and 900 vehicles. The molded construction provides a precise fit, reducing the risk of leaks or hose failure over time.

Applications and Common Issues Addressed

• Replacement of worn or cracked heater hoses in Saab 9-3 and 900 HVAC systems
• Resolving coolant leaks that cause heater core inefficiency
• Preventing overheating issues related to faulty heater hose connections
• Maintaining proper coolant circulation for effective cabin heating
• Eliminating hose swelling or degradation due to heat and chemical exposure

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the URO HVAC Heater Hose 4961074, ensure the vehicle is cool and the cooling system is depressurized. Verify hose routing matches the original configuration to avoid kinks or stress points. Use appropriate clamps to secure the hose ends firmly without over-tightening, which can damage the hose. Inspect adjacent components for wear or damage during replacement to maintain overall HVAC system integrity.
