The coefficient of expansion for water is 207E-6/degC at 20C. Not
really sure that your proposed reason/guess is correct. Actually, I am
sure it is incorrect.

I've had better luck with Goodyear hoses; they fit MUCH better than the gates
ones, and look spot-on compared to dealer hoses.
Gates pre-formed hoses for some applications were off even 20 years ago (IIRC,
upper radiator hose for an 82 Ford LTD (midsize, not fullsize), 3800 V6.)

Peter,
Where did you get the hoses?
I'm doing this as preventative maintenance.

I don't know where you can get Goodyear hoses?

O'Reillys had them last summer, on the shelf. I didn't buy them,
though, so they might have come from somewhere else, but they were
not special order.

O'Reilly's is where I stopped today. They normally carry Gates hoses.
They did not have the heater hoses I was looking for in stock. Did the
heater supply and return lines that you installed fit perfectly?
Thanks,

Yup, but that was almost a year ago. Could have been from Napa or
AutoZone, too, as I said, I didn't buy them, just helped my buddy
install them.

Wouldn't that support the theory that the return hose should be larger?
The return hose is 5/8 and the supply is 11/16.

The supply is hotter and less dense, the water shrinks going through
the heater core.

Oh. Uh. I can read. I guess just not very well.

You can find pretty much anything you want as far as
size/length/flexible/molded at NAPA. Just be sure to go to one that has a lot
of delivery trucks. That means the bulk of their business is commercial.

I believe that all you need are 45/90/180 degree bends, straight hose, and a
handful of hose
