Napa Gates Green Stripe

barCruiser · 09-23-08, 02:07 PM

For those of you who have trouble finding the gates green stripe hose (I know I did). Napa sells it under a different name, Napa fleetflex gold. It has a gold stipe as opposed to a green one, but its the same stuff just made by gates specifically for Napa. Link to catalog

If you check the specs, NAPA Gold isn't as good as Gates Green Stripe II... Heat or burst strength... although it is slightly better than the generic stuff.

NAPA Gold Stripe: 212F/60PSI

Gates Green Stripe: 275F/rated at 95PSI although they have tested it beyond 140psi

Does anyone know how the regular Gates heater hose (no stripes) does compared to the gold or green stripe? That's all I could find when I replaced all my firewall heater hoses.
