Dorman – Help – Upper and Lower Coolant Hose Seal (OE Fix) (Part No.47450)

Upper and Lower Coolant Hose Seal (OE Fix)

from

$18.49
Certain Ford vehicles use radiator hoses that employ a connection sealed with an O-ring. Through age, heat cycling and normal wear and tear, the O-ring can deform or become damaged to the point where it no longer seals effectively. The dealer sells the O-rings only as part of the complete hose assembly. This OE FIX engine coolant pipe O-ring kit is designed to reduce repair expense while matching the performance of the original part on specified vehicles. The O-ring helps to prevent coolant leaks and should be replaced periodically or if the connection is disturbed during service. This kit is made with quality materials and is engineered for reliable performance and durability.

Product Features:
  • Direct replacement – this OE FIX coolant pipe O-ring kit is designed to help restore proper cooling system function and prevent coolant leaks on specified vehicles
  • Cost-conscious repair – replacing just the sealing components instead of the complete hose keeps properly-functioning parts in service
