Gates 18763 Small I.D. Coolant Hose - .62 Inch ID, 23.5 Centerline Length For Engine Cooling Systems

About This Product

Mechanics and DIYers working on modern engines, this Gates small I.D. coolant hose is specifically designed for today's tighter engine compartments where space is limited. The .62 inch inner diameter and 23.5 inch centerline length make it perfect for those confined routing areas that larger hoses can't handle. What's really impressive is the construction - EPDM tube with synthetic fiber knit reinforcement and EPDM cover, which provides excellent resistance to electrochemical degradation (the main cause of hose failure in cooling systems). It meets SAE 20R3 Type EC Class D-1 and D-2 specifications, so you know it's built to professional standards. The temperature range is impressive too, handling everything from -40??F to 275??F, which covers pretty much any condition your vehicle will ever face. Gates is known for quality OEM-style hoses, and this molded coolant hose lives up to that reputation perfectly. It works for coolant, water, and air applications, and it's even approved for marine use. Whether you're replacing a worn-out factory hose, doing engine work that requires new coolant lines, or building a custom project, this hose delivers reliable performance that won't let you down. The factory-molded shape ensures proper fitment, and the quality is noticeably better than generic parts store hoses. Definitely a go-to for anyone who wants cooling system components they can install and forget about for years to come.
