What a Broken Heater Hose Tee Looks Like (Help Requested) (1 Viewer)

That is funny, it does not seem like a lot of pictures here in the 100 section.

Shoot, in my Pig build thread I would post pictures of a sandwich I was eating that day!

Is there a favorite brass replacement product?

See here: Heater T's failure - fixed with PEX t's

What is the OD's of the ports on a OEM set?

I think this guy got 3/4" brass Ts, but someone else in the thread noted that one hose has a different ID: Heater T's failure - fixed with PEX t's

What is the OD's of the ports on a OEM set?

This guy is saying 5/8"

I saw those but was hoping someone with a set of OEM ones could put a caliper on them and get accurate OD's

I just bought a set of Toyota part number 87248-60460.

14mm on the leg of the "T", 17mm on both sides of the upper cross.

In US sizes, rounding up to the nearest 1/16", I think that's 9/16" and 11/16"

And just to be clear, that's the measurement for the barrel the hose would sit on, not the little hump the hose would have to slide over at the end.

Perfect, thanks.

Awesome, thank you!

Have any issues again? I had some plastic bits fall into the system that I was not able to fish out, no one seems to think thats a problem?

 

[LCTom]

I haven't had any further problems, so I'm thinking that it's okay. Of course, now that I've said it publicly, I've probably jinxed it.

I will knock on wood for you!

The broken pieces probably just get lodged in the radiator somewhere I would assume. The coolant system is pretty forgiving. Wouldn't be too surprised if it showed up in a coolant flush down the road.
