Replace brittle, cracked plastic heater hose elbows with the Dorman - HELP Heater Hose Connector 47065HP, an aluminum upgrade designed for greater durability. It is listed for many models, among them the 2000-2005 Chevrolet Impala, 2005-2009 Buick LaCrosse and 1995-2002 Chevrolet Camaro. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
On certain vehicles, the original heater hose connectors are made of brittle plastic that can crack and leak. Dorman's OE FIX answer is this Dorman heater hose fitting set, which is made of aluminum and comes with O-rings. Heater hose connectors join the hoses that carry engine coolant to and from the heater core, so a failed elbow can let coolant escape.
- Upgraded replacement: These heater hose elbow connectors are made of aluminum rather than brittle plastic.
- Smart solution: Designed to reduce the likelihood of the same part failing again in the same way.
- What's included: Both the upper and lower elbow, with O-ring seals.
- Application specific: Made specifically for a wide range of Chevrolet, Buick, Oldsmobile and Pontiac vehicles.
Signs this part may need replacing include coolant drips at the hose joints, a visibly cracked elbow, a coolant level that keeps dropping, or reduced cabin heat. Diagnose the cause before replacing any parts.
