Hose joiners

Post by badgerfax »

Need to join some hoses on my AGG conversions cooling system, I have been searching the web and there are umpteen hose connectors out there, but can I would like to know what material I should be going for that can cope with the temperature and coolant.

Some of these joiners look like they will work but could be as bad as a chocolate teapot.


Ideally could do with a 16mm 16mm 8mm T piece but can't find one of those either so will probably end up with a couple of reducers which isn't ideal.

Grateful for tips :ok

I would look for PA -GF30 or similar. PA is polyamide aka nylon, the GF30 means glass fibre reinforced @ 30%
Pretty close to what VW still use for plastic coolant parts afaik
