Procedure for fixing "Y" connectors on heater hoses leaking coolant (3) »

Where did I get the Parts? 3/4 Inch Heater Coolant Hose You need 6 feet of it. I got it at Canadian Tire. It's not obvious...it's in a plastic bag near some other automotive parts for flushing rads. I had to ask for it. Make sure it's 3/4 inch. For the Americans...I'm not sure where you go to get various car related things but it should be an easy find at a store where you buy automotive supplies. Brass Block and brass pipe for the "T" The brass blocks were the most difficult to find but wherever you look...THINK PLUMBING and NOT automotive. I got mine at a Home Hardware. Home Depot didn't have them...but I'm getting use to that. I usually go to Home Hardware first. Sorry...not sure what stores Americans have...Home Depot for sure...but not sure about Home Hardware. If you can't find exact just try to get something that doesn't corrode and can easily receive a 3/4 inch hose and can take 220 degrees Celsius with a bit of pressure. I know stainless is ok from other web searches. Buy the hose first! It's cheaper and you can bring it with you to try fittings. Ordinary Hose Clamps Just about anywhere hardware related. I'd also like to highlight the "needle nose Vice grips". You can't work with those manufacturer's hose clamps without them. Adjust them so that they lock the clamp open and then you can wiggle them around to slide them up or down the hose.
