So the heater hose tees are 5/8? Asking for a friend that I am married to. She just called and said one had broken.

You can use a standard 5/8 in a pinch, but one of the legs is smaller. Factory fits mo betta.
5/8 and 1/2
Got one from Lowes to run temporarily and ordered two more from the dealer.

I have these.
They suck. The smaller of the 3 openings seeps coolant, as it’s too small in diameter.
Why would one take a chance on one that may work versus buying the part that is actually made for that application. Buy four and keep 2 in your glovebox, 87248-60460. They are inexpensive and actually work.

Because if I can find one that never needs to be replaced vs one that may one day need to be serviced, I’ll use it.
My search continues. Brass or SS would be the best, honestly.
In that case every 80 has 1 brass T that is the correct size. You will have to hunt for used ones as new doesn’t exist. Brass part number has been replaced with the plastic version. Or you can just spend $20 every time you do the timing belt and will never have to worry about them.
The factory clamps leak on them especially if you're reusing the old hoses. The breeze clamps worked on mine.

Here for a good time...not a long time!
I used the stainless tees linked above with new hoses/clamps and had no leaks. I enjoy knowing that they will not get brittle like the OEM plastic ones did

Mine must be some strange outlier then; new hoses on mine, but still leak.
Factory clamps or constant torque clamps on the Ts?

Factory clamps
That's why. You need to replace them with these on the T ends.

Looks pretty darn clean, minus the color, if anyone is looking. no affiliation.
Looks clean and is priced above retail
It's parked on old fannin at the Texaco just south of spillway.
If it were 6 months from now I'd go test drive it, but I am leaning towards a new 4runner (and Gold sucks)
^^THIS^^ Seems WAY high to me......
