Description

Keep hot coolant flowing from the heater outlet to the core with the Gates Molded Heater Hose 18626, a premium factory-molded replacement for the 2007-2008 Kia Optima and 2007-2008 Kia Magentis (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment). This small-I.D. molded hose is shaped to route through today's smaller, tighter engine compartments, and Gates lists it for coolant, water and air applications — it's even approved for marine use.

Features:

Molded, OEM-style fit: pre-formed to route cleanly in tight bays, built with the quality features of Gates molded coolant hose and similar to OEM specifications.
EPDM construction: EPDM tube, synthetic fiber knit reinforcement and EPDM cover.
ECD-resistant: engineered to resist electrochemical degradation, the leading cause of hose failure.
Rated: meets SAE 20R3 Type EC Class D-1 and D-2; temperature range -40°F to 275°F (-40°C to 135°C).

Gates recommends installing new hose clamps whenever a coolant hose is replaced. Caution: do not use for fuel or oil transfer applications.
