Anybody know of a local source open tomorrow (Sunday) for brass/metal 5/8" Tee or "Y" barbed (not compression fit connectors?

Redoing heater hoses to front and rear heater cores (ones in the engine bay) on my suburban and the "T" and "Y" are plastic and crap (read: brittle). All hose if 5/8" ID so thinking home depot, west marine, a really good hardware store, etc...

West marine online (nylon)- don't know if Alexandria store has them:



advaneautoparts online (none in 6 local stores) plastic tee:



All the FLAPS have 5/8 to 3/8 T adapters, etc... not 3 ended, all 5/8" Tees or Y(s).

TIA

Ive gotten brass Ts at home despot before. Though I'll bet money the bin w/ the one you need is empty. At least thats what always happens to me...

Yeah, Home Depot or Lowes.

Must not be used on the pressure side of fuel system!

Unless, of course, you have an on board fire extinguishing system.

[coolant system, no fuel of high pressure anything. ]

No fewer than 12 GM robot spring clamps involved with the rear heater core bypass coolant diverter recycler setup ... all in the span of 2.5'

What a clusterf$%k setup

Home Depot was a bust.

Lots of 1/2 and 3/4.

On to the next.

Forget HD and Lows, you need a real hardware store. Try Village Hardware in Alexandria.

Sweet! That was my neighborhood hardware store when I was growing up. Riley's only a few minutes from there. They also had a great 'variety store' and a cool hobby shop. I actually picked up something at that hardware store last year that I could not find at Lowes or HD
