Grim Reaper Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Following a visit to the US I once more have a supply of Coolant flush and Bleed Tee kits to dispose of. 11 kits (3 different sizes of tee piece,1 cap, 2 hose clips and hosepipe adapter) at £7 inc p+p 3 just tees (5/8" pipe fitting including cap) at £4 inc p+p drop me an email at grimreaper@grimreaper.e7even.com or post a request reply on this thread. I will allocate on a time and date basis between both methods so being top of the list on here does not necessarily mean top of the list as they get to me (trying to make it a first come first served thing to avoid disputes and arguments a la Petrolhead) 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeK Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 I want to fit a bleed tee into the top radiator hose (pipe diameter 32-35mm ish). Could one of the tees in the kit fit in this location? MikeK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim Reaper Posted February 20, 2005 Author Share Posted February 20, 2005 No, the kits come with the option of 1/2", 5/8" and 3/4" tee pieces, they would normally go into the top heater hose or the return feed from the thermostat housing to water rail pipe on the K series (the highest point in the coolant system) I would not see any point in putting it in the top radiator hose since the radiator normally has a bleed screw in it that can let air out of that end of the circuit. In the positions described above the tee piece becomes the ideal place to let the last bits of air out and to top up the system from (with the reservoir cap closed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeK Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Thank-you for the response. My rad does not have a bleed screw, hence my query about viability of fitting one of your tees in the top radiator hose. MikeK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim Reaper Posted February 21, 2005 Author Share Posted February 21, 2005 In that case you need an air bleed to be at the highest point of the coolant circuit. Where is this on your car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jd2 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Hi, this any good to you? -> bleed tee cheers, John 1.8 SS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucehc Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Thanks John Fingers crossed - Job done. Not a daunting task, although a bleed T will make it easier next time. Just been out and about for 20 mins - Motorway, C roads and queing in city traffic. Temp didn't get past 100 and when it id the fan cut in and dropped it back down. Appears to be sorted. Out of interest: Symptoms - overheating, Signs - high pitched whistle and then steam from under bonnet. Cause - Lack of coolant because of a loose top hose to the radiator - jubilee clip just there for decoration. Checked all the clips on my Samco hoses - replaced last year - and all clips were loose. I don't know whether the hoses or the clips I used were the root cause, but I will be checking the frequently from now on. (the clips were one of the two brands that are recommended on these pages under “Samco Hoses”). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
