• Durable ECD (Electro Chemical Degradation)-resistant EPDM material helps prevent electrolysis from breaking down the rubber from the inside-out
• Engine heat and ozone resistant
• Molded to OE heater hose shape for proper appearance and easy installation
• Plastic gets brittle from heat cycles and harsh engine temperatures leading to cracking or breaking
• Temperature rating: -40º F to 275º F (-40º C to 135º C)
• Upgraded Aluminum Fitting vs OEM Plastic for greater durability and leak resistance
