Review on ️ Rein Automotive CHC0609 Coolant Hose Metal Connector for Superior Performance - 1 Pack by June Reeves

tldr: save yourself the hassle, this flange works and is worth the money. I bought the cheapest Revain coolant flange because a metal flange is a metal flange right? Well not quite, the o-ring that came with the flange was too big. I found that out after trying unsuccessfully for about an hour to get my hands back in place. I've tried oiling it, mounting it, and getting it to sit with offset screws, but it just never sat on the underside. Worst of all, the old plastic flange broke upon removal and I was left with an unusable vehicle. I immediately ordered this flange because I knew it would work. Now I could try going to a dealer or finding an auto parts store with an o-ring in stock ($6), but what if the o-ring recess was just too shallow and even with the original o it was ring would happen ? I didn't want to play this game and risk waiting longer with an unusable machine, it was supposed to be a 10-20 minute install turned into a 30 hour install. This is pretty much a one-time purchase, so I'm happy to spend the extra $13 for a quality product. It took less than 2 minutes to put it back in place and sit down with a satisfying pop, no leaks. Nice and cozy. WORK IS DONE.
