Adhesive for Radiator Hoses ?
Is there a particular adhesive one can use on the
inlet and outlet radiator pipes before installing new radiator hoses. Its just that its time to replace the hoses. Can you use Permatex # 3 ( I believe its #3) ? Thanks in advance Denny B |

Why? If, say, a snout has a build-up of deposits on [its] outside, you should be wire-brushing the build-up off. If the metal snout on the radiator side is prone to leaking, even when the hose clamp is [appropriately] tightened down, then you should fix the problem, whatever it might be (bent metal, and so on). Consider the situation should you have to replace one of those hoses, having used an adhesive. You'll spend a [considerable] amount of time/effort to remove that adhesive (even if it is non-hardening) before installing a new hose. I'd put the hoses on dry. I've done this with every car and motorcycle I've owned. The only time that I experienced a leak coming from around a snout, with a new hose, is that I failed to clean off the build-up of deposits on the outside of the snout (water-pump snout). -- remove MYSHOES to email |

Why would you need an adhesive for that job?

Some older shop manuals recommend same. However hoses back then were a
lot stiffer. nate Professor wrote: > Why would you need an adhesive for that job? > > Professor > www.telstar-electronics.com > > > Is there a particular adhesive one can use on the > > inlet and outlet radiator pipes before installing > > new radiator hoses. > > Its just that its time to replace the hoses. > > > > Can you use Permatex # 3 ( I believe its #3) ? > > > > Thanks in advance > > Denny B |

I don't know what Permatex #3 is, but my Ford came with what seemed like rubber glue inside each hose. I first installed the new hoses without adhesive, but one short heater hose, under the ignition coils, always leaked, no matter how much I tightened the hose clamps or even when I used spring clamps (very hard to install at that location) or hose with a smaller inside diameter. It was only after I applied rubber glue that the leak stopped for good. |

Surely you are joking? That has not been required since the mid 1950's. |

For the last 40 years, I have used Permatex Super 300 or Aviation gasket
sealer on ALL hose installations. I have a good repeat business, and I have replaced may of the hoses I have installed this way. You simply take a utility knife, slit the hose, and peel it off. With today's higher pressure cooling systems, I continue this practice today.

This is the way I believe the hoses should be installed. I slit my hoses with a utility knife and easily peel it off. Permatex Super 300 or Aviation gasket sealer. This is the name I am looking for.
