I used 5/8 (-10) Earl's Super Stock hose. The existing barbed fitting is bigger than 5/8, but small than the next hose size. I heated the end of the hose with a hot air gun and it slipped on.

The attached photos depict the heater outlet. I had originally hoped to just use regular heater hose and barbed fittings. However, as my setup has come together there are just too many things trying to make too many turns. What I really needed was a 5/8" 45 degree or 90 degree barbed fitting. I tried my usual spot of fittingsandadapters.com , but no luck. Thus, I am considering tearing the fitting out of the housing and replacing it with an AN fitting which I can use with socketless hose or something of the like. It looks like the fitting is not pressed into the housing, but rather screwed in( I have been unsuccessful at turning it even using heat and cold ). Is it really screwed into the housing? If so, would it be to much to hope for it to be 1/2"npt? Any ideas on how to salvage the simple barbed on hose setup? Any info, thoughts, and references are appreciated.... Thx... -Scott ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better Heartthrob. Get better relationship answers from someone who knows. Yahoo!
