Gates Nitrile Transmission Oil Cooler Hose 400psi

Description

Product Overview

The Gates Transmission Oil Cooler Hose is engineered for high‑performance automotive cooling systems. Constructed from a nitrile inner tube, it offers superior resistance to oil, fuel and abrasive particles. The outer cover is a machined black CSM (chlorosulfonated polyethylene) that protects against environmental wear, while a braided synthetic fiber‑reinforced cord provides added strength and flexibility. Key specifications include a 0.42‑inch outside diameter, 0.025‑inch nominal wall thickness, a maximum pressure of 400 psi, and an operating temperature range from -40 °F to +275 °F. The hose is 3 feet long, lightweight at 0.01 ounces, and meets or exceeds SAE 100R6 standards.

Usage

Designed for engine turbocharger intercoolers, transmission oil coolers, and other high‑temperature cooling circuits, this hose excels in demanding environments. It is ideal for performance enthusiasts, professional mechanics, and fleet maintenance teams seeking reliable fluid transfer under high pressure and temperature conditions. Whether upgrading a turbo system or replacing a worn cooler hose, the Gates hose ensures leak‑free operation and easy routing thanks to its flexible yet robust construction.
