Assembling the new hose and "T" adapters
Remember which came from where when you pull them out of the van. Mark them and
build them one at a time to make sure you are going to spend next time.
I worked on the kitchen table (wife is very tolerant) to cut the hoses and assembly the
new "T" replacements.
Thread the pipe into the blocks with Teflon tape to prevent thread leaks.
Lay the "T" adapter approximately over top of the old plastic "Y" adapter and duplicate
the hose length. You should have a fairly close model to the old assemblies...it doesn't
have to be exact...in fact the "T" shape in some cases made it easier to end up where it
needed to connect. But you WILL need the corrugated plastic that covers the hoses...it
helps bend your new hoses without kinking them.
Be sure to Label the new "T" assembly the same as the label you put on the "Y" assembly
before removing it. It should say vertical or horizontal.
Also the ordinary hose clamp goes on each hose where it connects to your assembled
brass pipe. The factory clamps are for hose ends that connect to the vehicle.
