Gates Radiator Coolant Hose P/N:21656
Gates 21735 lower radiator coolant hose for the 1988-1995 Ford Taurus V6 3.8L and other vehicles carries coolant between the engine and the radiator. This Gates radiator coolant hose is molded and pre-shaped for a sealed fit.
Cracks, swelling or coolant seepage at the ends can mean a hose is worn. A leaking clamp, a worn water pump or a faulty thermostat can be behind coolant loss or overheating too, so find the cause before buying a new hose. The lower position takes one hose.
Fitment includes the 1988-1995 Ford Taurus V6 3.8L, the 1994-1995 Ford Sable V6 3.8L and the 1988-1995 Mercury Sable V6 3.8L. If your car is not one of those, open the "Vehicles it fits" section and look up your exact model and engine.

Does a Gates coolant hose like the 21735 need new clamps?

What temperature range does the Gates molded coolant hose handle?
Gates 21735 handles -40°F to +257°F (-40°C to +125°C). Its tube and cover are EPDM, and the cover resists heat, ozone and chemical coolant.
What can I look for on a worn lower radiator coolant hose?
With the engine off and cool, look for cracks, a hose that feels soft or collapsed, or coolant residue at the ends. A shop can test the cooling system if you are unsure.
Does this radiator coolant hose resist collapsing under vacuum?
Yes. Its materials are engineered to resist collapse under vacuum, and the hose resists electrochemical degradation, the leading cause of hose failure.
