Wrightpayne Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Bit of background first... I have a fresh air heater circa 1998 made by Clayton part no Q1016R. Water inlet / outlet about 2" apart. Hoses were perished and wanted to fit blue silicone hoses to match the rest of the engine. Ordered 3 samco 16mm elbows, however, due to the closeness of the inlet / outlet I could not get them all to fit nicely. I had originally purchased a Tefen plastic 16mm straight connector to join 2 of the elbows but this didn't work out and research showed they also produced a plastic elbow which may help with the installation. I found somwhere that supplied them (an aquatics centre), however, with their minimum order value I had to order 23 (but only needed 1). They duely arrived and I completed the installation perfectly with the tefen elbow and only 2 samco elbows and a short piece of 16mm straight hose. It all looks really neat. Problem now is I have 22 spares. The tefen range has a very high temperature and chemical resistance and are used on the caterham external dry sump tank breathers. Link here though don't be fooled by the 8 in the picture! If anyone wants a picture of the heater hose installation then sent me a PM So I'll be selling off a few of the spares at £1.00 each plus P&P.

Neil_K Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Having just re-done my cooling system, these look like a useful addition for anyone renewing hoses around the heater. Edited by - Neil_K on 26 Jun 2010 01:11:19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
