Description

Product Overview

The Gates 27041 windshield washer and vacuum hose is engineered for the demanding environment under the vehicle hood. Constructed from high‑grade PVC, the hose combines a lightweight feel with exceptional durability. At 50 feet in length, the black‑colored hose provides ample reach for a wide range of vehicle makes and models, while the 0.0058‑inch nominal wall thickness delivers a balance of flexibility and strength. The machined exterior surface resists kinks, abrasions, and the corrosive effects of coolant, ozone, and engine heat, ensuring a consistent flow of washer fluid even during prolonged use.

Designed with a left‑hand position in mind, the hose integrates seamlessly with Gates’ OEM part numbers D3PJ17543BA and D3PZ17543B, making it a direct replacement for original equipment. The 6‑foot self‑service lengths are packaged in a recyclable, reusable container that can be displayed on a pegboard for easy access in workshop environments. With a customer rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars from over 200 reviews, this hose has proven its reliability in both professional and DIY settings.

Usage

Whether you are performing routine maintenance on a daily driver or preparing a fleet of service vehicles, the Gates windshield washer hose offers straightforward installation. The hose’s flexible nature allows it to be routed through tight engine bays without the need for excessive bending or cutting. Its heat‑resistant formulation protects against temperature spikes that can cause traditional rubber hoses to soften or crack.

Ideal for passenger cars, light trucks, and SUVs, the hose can be used in both cold‑climate regions—where resistance to freezing is essential—and hot‑climate environments, where engine heat can be a challenge. The vacuum‑resistant construction also makes the hose suitable for applications that require simultaneous suction, such as cleaning hard‑to‑reach areas with a vacuum attachment.

Installation typically involves removing the old hose, cleaning the mounting brackets, and securing the new hose with the provided clamps. The self‑service 6‑foot lengths allow technicians to replace only the damaged section, reducing waste and cost. Once installed, the hose delivers a steady stream of washer fluid, improving visibility and safety during rain or snow.
