Linus Tremaine Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linus Tremaine Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
