New copper coolant lines? (1 Viewer)

[gslam20]

Hi All,

This past weekend I removed my rear heater so I can put in a new console. I need to put in some new coolant lines that go only to the front heater and back out.

Can I just get some copper piping and sweat them together? Is there anything more complicated than that?

Thanks!

Chris

That's exactly what I did. Added a small flare to the tube where the hoses connect.

i just cut up the front T's and turned them into elbows. no sweating, soldering, brazing. just cut, get some heater hose, hose clamps and call it a day.

Apparently all antifreeze glows under a blacklight!

Manufacturers purposely include fluorescent additives in antifreeze fluid so that black lights can be used to find antifreeze splashes to help investigators reconstruct automobile accident scenes.

Something I learned today and need to test.
