Description

Keep coolant moving between the control valve and heater core with the GATES heater hose 12538, a premium factory-molded replacement that drops into the 2015 Ford F Series Pickup, 2015 Ford F-150, and 2015 Ford Lobo. It's cataloged for the valve-to-heater position and shaped to fit today's smaller, tighter-fitting engine compartments.

Molded coolant construction: EPDM tube, synthetic fiber knit reinforcement, and EPDM cover in an OEM-style molded shape.
Electrochemical resistance: engineered to resist electrochemical degradation, the leading cause of hose failure.
Rated specs: meets SAE 20R3 Type EC Class D-1 and D-2, with a temperature range of -40°F to 275°F (-40°C to 135°C).
Versatile use: suitable for coolant, water, and air applications, and approved for marine use.

This GATES molded heater hose is built to similar-to-OEM specifications. Do not use it for fuel or oil transfer applications, and Gates recommends replacing the hose clamps each time a new coolant hose is installed.
