Product Identification
Gates 24848 is a straight silicone coolant hose with a 3 in inside diameter and a 36 in length. It is rated for a maximum working pressure of 50 psi at 70 F and covers a temperature range of -70 to 350 degrees F. The hose meets SAE 20R1 standards and comes in blue.
Usage Fit
This hose suits cooling systems that require a 3 in straight silicone connection rated for 50 psi at 70 F. It is not for installations needing a different inside diameter, a shorter or longer length, a bent elbow configuration, or a higher pressure rating than 50 psi.
Deciding Specification
The inside diameter of 3 in and the 36 in length are the critical dimensions that determine fit. Verify these measurements against the system requirements before ordering. The SAE 20R1 rating and the -70 to 350 degrees F range confirm the operating envelope.

Questions about this item
What diameter clamp fits the 3 in inside diameter of this hose?
Use a clamp sized for a 3 in inside diameter hose; the straight silicone tube has no built-in fittings, so the clamp provides the seal.
How do I install the straight 36 in length without kinking it?
Cut the bulk hose to the exact routing length, slide clamps on first, push each end fully over the nipples, then tighten clamps evenly — the step most people skip is checking for twists before final tightening.
When should I replace this silicone coolant hose?
Inspect at every coolant change; replace if the blue cover shows surface cracking, hardening, or if the hose exceeds the -70 to 350 °F range or 50 psi at 70 °F working pressure.
