Automotive Cooling System Hoses, Connectors, Adapters, and Fittings

Every automotive cooling and air conditioning system needs hoses and fittings in order to function. Hoses carry coolant between the engine and radiator, oil between the engine and cooler, as well as refrigerant between A/C components. To connect everything, adapters and fittings are required. JEGS offers a large AC and engine coolant hose connector selection as well as AC and radiator hose adapter fittings from top brands like Russell, Vibrant, Gates, Vintage Air, JEGS, and others. All products JEGS offers are made from high quality materials and assembly to give you peace of mind and years of trouble-free service. Browse our full line of automotive cooling system and air conditioning hoses, connectors, adapters, and fittings that will help you complete your next project.

Can I Splice a Radiator Hose?

Splicing a radiator hose is possible but not recommended. Radiator hoses are critical components of your vehicle's cooling system, and any modification can compromise their integrity and lead to coolant leaks or engine overheating.

If you encounter a damaged radiator hose, it's best to replace it entirely rather than attempting to splice it. Replacing the hose ensures the reliability and proper functioning of your cooling system, which is essential for your engine's health.

Which Radiator Hose is Inlet and Outlet?

Determining which radiator hose is the inlet and which is the outlet depends on your specific vehicle's cooling system design. In most cases, the upper radiator hose is the inlet hose, and the lower radiator hose is the outlet hose.

However, it's crucial to consult your vehicle's owner's manual or seek guidance from a professional mechanic to ensure you connect the hoses correctly. Connecting them incorrectly can lead to cooling system inefficiencies and engine overheating.

How Much Does a Radiator Hose Connector Cost?

The cost of a radiator hose connector can vary depending on factors such as the type of connector, material, and brand. On average, you can expect to pay anywhere from a few dollars to around twenty dollars for a radiator hose connector.

Higher-quality or specialized connectors may be priced at the higher end of the range. It's essential to choose a connector that matches your vehicle's radiator hose specifications and quality standards.
