🔌 Function

Connects a coolant pipe to the engine or cooling-system housing while maintaining a sealed flow path.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Connection corrosion or cracking
• Loose pipe or hose

🛠️ Service Notes

• Clean the threads and sealing face in the housing, and check the bore of the connection is clear before fitting
• Fit a new sealing washer, O-ring or gasket, and where a tapered thread is used seal it with the product the manual specifies rather than winding tape onto a fuel, oil or hydraulic joint
• Hold the connection at the correct angle for the pipe run as it is tightened, so the pipe meets it squarely instead of being sprung into place
• Tighten to the figure in the workshop manual, and do not try to cure a weep by pulling the joint up harder — strip it and look at the sealing face
• Pressure-test or run the system and check for weeping before closing up access, then check the joint again after the first period of running
