Hi, I've Been having trouble getting the air out of my cooling system so I want to instal a bleeder T on the heating hose. In the states this item is readily available and I keep searching to see if I can find one over here in France. The customs situation is truly awful at the moment so if anybody has a reference for one available here in Europe is will be much appreciated. I'm not even sure of the exact dimensions of the heater hose?
Thank you in advance

Re: Heating hose T
The "T" connection is pretty common here in the US, and most auto parts stores have them. Search for "5/8 Radiator Flush Tee With Cap" and you'll find pictures of the part. I don't know how common it would be in France, though.
The heater hoses are 5/8" inside diameter and whatever length they need to be to reach between the connection points. I think the metric size would be 16mm inside diameter although I don't know if that's a standard size.

Hi Bryan,
Thank you for the reply. I'll try a bit harder to find one over here with your information.
