Factory moulded hose for upper, lower, bypass, heater and other coolant applications. Gates’ curved hose line is the most comprehensive line on the European replacement market. Thanks to consolidation — one hose size handling more than one application — inventories can be kept down. To increase the number of applications even further, cut-off marks are printed on some curved hoses. - Pre-shaped to fit and to ensure perfectly sealed connections.
- Resistant to heat, ozone and chemical coolants.
- Aramid or rayon knit reinforcement(depending on the application).
- Meets requirements of SAE 20R4, Class D2 and DIN 73411, Class A (except for tolerances).
