Review on Dorman 800-409 HVAC Heater Hose Connector - Ideal for Compatible Models by Conrad Greene

Revainrating 5 out of 5

2006 Avalanche - Worked well

Okay, that could be a problem be. I ordered this circuit breaker but it doesn't work properly. already. The unlocking tool has an angled handle and the round part is in two parts. The reason this worked well for me was so I could insert one side of the tool into the back of the "quick coupler". Once I had one side good I worked on the other side and it was easy to glue. I even removed the faucet and tried both sides at once, no dice. I highly recommend using an angled plastic release tool. Now for Dorman 800-409, fits perfectly. I used the same part for both heater hoses. Yes, I replaced the brown connector with this black one. After removing the old quick couplers, I cleaned the aluminum fitting on the heater core and used sparingly plumbing valve grease on the bouncer fitting and gaskets. Slips like butter - no leaks! You will need two of these and two small hose clamps. This is the tubing I used for the side with no Y connector. =1
