So I want to join two hoses together which I think are about 19mm internal diameter. The joiner inner dia is 16 with a 1.5 body - so thats my 19mm and the one I need - yes?

Its for a car coolant system I'm slightly modifiying. I assume its ok to have a slightly smaller bore (the joiner) in the coolant system?

19 - 16 = 3

3/2 = 1.5

So you'll have 1.5mm 'concentric gap' all the way around the hoses and joiner. Quite a lot.... But the jubilee clips should be able to tighten no problem.

Just make sure you get the car upto temp then go for a test drive near to your house, to check for water-tightness...

...Oops sorry, misread...


You say the joiner's INNER dia. is 16mm... but its walls are 1.5mm thick?

In that case its outer dia. will be 16 + (1.5 x 2) = 19!

Perfect!

Cheers, thought so. Just wanted to check before ordering the hose.

My Audi diesel has had its DPF and EGR valve removed but still has the EGR cooler. I have a blank plate for the exhaust port but need a way to join the two coolant hoses.

Are you sure though, that the joiner's quoted dia. is for its INNER dimension?!

As normally it's the OUTER that's quoted (as in 99% of the time, hoses go around the OUTSIDE of joiners).

I'd double check the wording...

You've missed a tan on the 14th equation. Pretty obvious really

This is the joiner - it is quoted as 16mm inner dia with a 1.5mm wall.

One of these



Going in here.



At the back you can see two black pipes going into the metal thingy (cooler) Although they look like a 180degree would fit the top hose is actually angled. A 130 should be about right if I cut down the top hose. The really shiney bit under the cooler is the DPF delete pipe - looks a bit like a de-cat downpipe for a scoob.

Edd, make sure you check the length of the hose joiner.
