I tried using a length of Gates heater hose, but because of the bends, the hose either kinks or narrows by the heater core. I could plumb in a 45 degree fitting, I but found the dealer part numbers for these hoses. I will just pay for the dealer hoses and eliminate the extra fitting. I also noticed that the return line is 5/8" but the supply line is 11/16". I'm not sure why they made the return line 1/16" bigger.
I have been reading that hoses these days last a lot longer than the hoses of yesteryear and it is because of the newer materials used in the hose.
