Hello,br>This item is made in the United States of America from billet aluminum. Thank you for taking the time to read this.br>
Hello, as long as the hoses are the same size (5/8" and 3/4" I.D.). If that's the case, then this should work without a hitch. Thank you

Because my heater core was leaking, I put this in a Camaro to connect two different size heater hoses. I was able to bypass the heater core and connect the 5/8 inch hose from the radiator to the 3/4 inch hose going to the engine this way.
The vent hose from the gas fill (where the nozzle goes) was not the same size as the vent hose returning from the tank in my case. To connect them, I needed this adapter. Thankfully, someone manages to pull it off! Sharp barbs, accurate sizing, and clamps are all features of this product. The hoses are securely fastened, and the split/leaking hoses from previous work are no longer an issue!.
This reducer/adapter is extremely difficult to put together and clamp hose ends to. To finally seal up the connection, I had to replace rubber hoses, buy new clamps, and double clamp each end. I'd like to see more aggressive barbs/ribbing on this part to better bind with hose ends. This could aid in the prevention of leaks by helping to seal the area.
Assuming that the FIX was installed correctly. I haven't had a single failure with this product, and I'm switching my service trucks over to billet steel.
5- The price of plastic is ten times higher. However, using a plastic version saves money on COMEBACK problems.
This was used to adapt a Ford Explorer's aux heater water pump. There are no issues with this.
After 4 years of dumping plastic chunks and bits into my water pump and cooling system, I've upgraded to a much better material that will likely outlast both the Jeep and me.
I placed an order for two barbed fittings and received one barbed and one threaded fitting. I only needed one, so I didn't bother with a refund, but solid fittings, please send us the correct ones.
On my 96 Cherokee and 98 Grand Cherokee, I used it to bypass the heater core. It comes with both ends that I require. Instead of using one size hose and "making it fit," I preferred this approach.
