Hi, I'm just about to tackle the plumbing (RV - what's the best thing to use to connect 2 radiator hoses together ?

Cheers, Rich

Thanks Mike, where did you get it supplied from ?

You could try Car Builder Solutions or trek round your local scrapyards/welders. Either way remember to have the end "shaped" or have a blob or two of weld on the end of the tube to prevent the hose blowing off under pressure. I can vouch for the fact that hot water is WET and HOT!

Just look in your local Yellow Pages for Metal or Stainless tubing suppliers or do a search on Google, I got mine from a local tubing supplier.

You don't need the tube flaring or weld round it, just sandpaper the bit that goes in the hose, mines been watertight for nearly 8000 miles. :thumb::thumb:
