Using hose clamp/barb connection with AN hose

Magic 8 ball says this will not work in a cooling line (although to its credit it did last an entire year with a defective rad (perpetual hot spot that must have been slowing coolant flow down like crazy)

I've done it on fuel lines etc. and never had a problem for years.

earls and aeromotive have aluminum barb fittings that would probably work better

those barb'd fittings you talk about are for special push-lok hose. Not recommended for regular heater hose or stainless braided. Stainless braided requires the other type of fitting to fully seal.

This was just a case of it ain't going to work, hah.

Although I did get Chris (revhard) to make me a kickass piece to take its place - one end is -10, one end is flared for heater hose

Feels good to replace something ghetto with something shiny.

Ghetto??? It took me about 10hrs of running to parts stores to find the original piece! Hahaha, too bad it just didn't work
