Gates 26501

Gates 26501 Green Stripe Vulco-Flex is a flexible radiator hose with an internal steel spiral. It has a 1-3/4" / 44.5 mm inside diameter and a 13.5" / approximately 343 mm centreline length, and can form moderate bends without kinking or collapsing.

Application / fitment

The hose is a universal-size component for vehicle and machinery cooling systems and selected heavy-duty or marine installations. Selection is based on connection diameter, required length, bend radius, working pressure and temperature rather than vehicle model alone.

• part type: flexible radiator hose
• position: upper or lower cooling-system connection, depending on installation
• application: trucks, buses, machinery and marine systems with matching dimensions
• inside diameter at both ends: 1-3/4" / 44.5 mm
• application condition: suitable length, installation space and bend radius

Form the hose without twisting it or exceeding the minimum bend radius. Seat both ends fully on the connections, use suitable clamps and check for leaks and clearance from moving parts after the engine reaches operating temperature.
