Gates 12552 HVAC Heater Hose - Heater (Lower)
Gates Molded Heater Hose for Ford Fusion
The Gates 12552 molded heater hose is a factory-molded, OE-style coolant hose built for tight engine bays and precise routing. It is made from EPDM and is suitable for coolant, water, and air service, with marine application approval.
For 2013-2020 Ford Fusion heater (lower) service, this molded hose helps restore proper coolant flow through the HVAC circuit while matching the original hose shape and connection sizes. The Gates Molded Heater Hose line focuses on formed replacement hoses for compact engine compartments where a straight hose will not route correctly.
Key Features

Detailed Description
This molded heater hose is built to follow the original routing used on the Ford Fusion heater (lower) connection, helping maintain proper fit in confined spaces. The 12552 hose uses EPDM material for service in cooling-system and related fluid or air transfer applications, and its formed profile supports a cleaner replacement than a universal straight hose. This part cross-references Bosch 13552 for the same application.
Compatible With 2013-2020 Ford Fusion, heater (lower). Use the Gates 12552 when replacing a worn, cracked, or incorrectly routed molded hose on Ford Fusion models from 2013 through 2020.
Common Problems This Hose Can Address
- Coolant seepage from a cracked or aged molded hose
- Poor hose routing caused by a non-formed replacement
- Restricted heater circuit flow from a deteriorated hose interior
- Softening, swelling, or hardening of the original EPDM hose
- Fitment issues in compact engine compartments
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify end diameters and routing before installation to confirm the hose matches the original Ford Fusion heater (lower) layout. Inspect adjoining clamps, fittings, and nearby hoses for wear, and replace any damaged components before refilling the cooling system. After installation, check for leaks and confirm proper heater operation.
Quality Assurance
Gates manufactures this molded heater hose as an OE-style replacement for applications that require accurate shape and size. The molded construction and EPDM material support dependable service in cooling-system use, including the 2013-2020 Ford Fusion heater (lower) application.
