Aluminum Coolant outlet tee fittings now available.

Hi all,

I now make a fitting to change out the 2 plastic connectors that connect the outlet tee to the expansion tank. Even if you change to the ZZP or Mitzone aluminum outlet tee (and you should) then you are still left with the little plastic fittings which often break and leave you stranded.

I have tested this solution for about 100,000 miles on my Chevy Cruze and it has been bulletproof.

I can sell these for $30 plus $6 shipping for the straight fitting to US destinations and $31 for the 90 degree hose barb version.20240602_123954.jpg

I currently have 2 fittings left that I will be able to ship out Thursday. Let me know if you need one.

I still have one of these fittings available to ship. This will replace the last fragile plastic piece in your cooling system.

Sorry I just saw your message, I will call this afternoon if still available. I would like one with the 90° elbow. Thanks Seth

I'm now down to two complete fittings and enough material to make two more, then I will be waiting on material (and finding time of course).

Hi all I currently have one fitting left (plus a couple of blanks ready for final machining). I am planning on being out of town for the rest of the week but I can ship this last one tomorrow if anyone wants it.

Hi all, It seems the demand for these fittings has ground to a halt so I am starting to assume that everyone who wants one has one. I have some material (hose fittings etc) to make quite a few more but if nobody needs one then I will be returning these in the next week or so. I can always order more but there is no point in keeping material with $$ tied up. I currently have one machined ready to ship and two blanks that need final machining.

Let me know if you want one, if not I will be moving onto other projects and only making them to order in batches of 3 or 4 at a time.

I'd keep a couple on hand and check your messages,this sounds like a decent idea. Can some other members provide a review?

Most of my demand came from embers on Reddit funnily enough and lots of them have provided glowing feedback. I have not had any negative feedback except for one person who could get the fitting to stay in.

It turns out he had simply not pushed it in far enough so that the circlip went ON Top of the flange that holds it in place.

I have since updated my install instructions and reduced the diameter slightly to make it an easier fit.. Its is still way more precise than the original plastic fitting though.

I do have a couple of machined blanks ready for final machining which only takes a few minutes, You are correct though, just when I thought everybody had one I got an order to another two fittings last night..:)

Maybe @LilRedLtz can provide some more details of his experience?
