Correct term needed-heater hose supply fitting

All,

I have a 1927 Lincoln into which I am installing a heater. In this era heater water supply was taken by installing a bulkhead type fitting directly into the side of the upper and lower radiator hoses. This would be a barb fitting for 5/8 hose that you cut a hole into the radiator hose and install into the hole. I guess it would have a nut inside the hose to hold it together. I dont know what to call this, so I cant find one.

Does anyone know a good term to use for a google search for this?

Trouble is they don't say what size and I know the hose comes in 5/8 and 3/4 I.D.

Yup. Thems them. I will email and ask what size they are. I guess (since I dont have the heater yet) that I should make sure the heater is not 1/2" hose barb size.

Thanks Howard.

Linus, were you able to find out what size hose these are?

Howard Dennis

Howard,

yes. they are 5/8" which is what I expected. i ordered two.

Thanks again for finding the links.
