Can it be used on radiator hoses?

I don't know, but "Gentleheart" who answered a similar question earlier, apparently did so successfully. I believe the silicone can handle the temperature.

I would not recommend using it on a radiator hose as the pressure and heat will probably cause the seal to break, but I have not used it on a rubber based item. It tends to work better on plastic or hard (metal) materials, making a better seal that tends to hold. It is no magic remedy.

You could try a test patch in an easy place to remove if it doesn't work. I haven't used it on a radiator hose where it would get hot.

Hi, I don't know why I'm being asked and not the manufacturer of this product as I only am a customer myself, however, I could answer your question as no, you can't. They are designed to adapt the original auto HVAC r12 service gage fittings for a car with the R134 type of quick disconnet fittings. You can see the blue and red rings anodized rings on these brass fitstings, those are quick connect sleeves that you pull back to make connection to the newer R134 hi and lo pressure service ports found on 1993 and newer cars. The other end of these fittings you can see is a flair fitting that an older style R12 type hi and low pressure gage set can attach to.

No. This oil would degrade rapidly and most likely start forming a build up that would kill your radiator. Water Wetter as was previously suggested is the way to go, plus I don't think you'd pass tech if you had this in your rad.

Yes it can. My wife has the heat option in hers and this hose does not go near it.

If you have space to mount it, you can probably get it to work on almost anything.Drawing coolant from the lowest part of the cooling system and putting it back on the engine side of the thermostat(you don't want the radiator cooling what you're trying to heat).Could require creative plumbing.

Sorry, I ended up replacing my radiator before using this product. I'll put it on Ebay in a few days.

I don't see why not. I have used it on car tires and basketballs with no problem.

Yes you can but the fitters are customely made for the water pump to the reservoir! If you get a coil you will need to take the reservoir off jus pull it off from the radiator and pump then put the coil in and put it all back together.

I'd say no, cause it might burn. Essentially it's a foil with a little bubble wrap in between. It does reflect the temp. I'm using it on a slider, the metal part which gets cold and it does get cold and reflects the cold from it, so much so that I put bubble wrap over it. But with a radiator, it might melt or start a fire verses reflecting the heat from it.Hope this helps.

Works good on 70 year old window casings. Better than harsh chemicals. I suspect it will work on iron radiators.

Should be able to do so, since they have the standard hose threads. You might want to contact Dramm and ask to be sure. www.dramm.com

I am not sure that would work. The product is submerged in warm water then wrapped around the pipe. It seals tightly by adhering to the overlapped parts. Just not sure what would hold it in place on a radiator. Hope this helps.

Stock hoses work. As mentioned, make sure you have the upgraded (white end at engine) hose. If you are re-using old hose, try to replace the O rings.Do a thorough flush with old radiator to keep trash out of the new one.

I'm not sure. I bought a set of PVC and ABS plastic sticks and it worked ok with them. I imagine it would be ok with what you have. I used a mixture to repair a radiator and it worked out great.

Not sure if I would use it in high heat / stress applications. Works great for water and pump gaskets.

No, this is not designed for that purpose. The way this stuff works, it needs the heat of compression at the point where the coolant is leaking. For head gaskets, this is the way to go. I have now put over 67,000 miles on my Duramax since I put this in it, and over 31,000 of those miles have been at full rated GCWR of 22,000 lbs.

not sure. I think it works like the stuff you put in a car radiator. as its search you like through the pipeS it's obviously hardens a little bit and gets caught in the crevices and eventually enough clogs the leak and hardens. unfortunately my lEak was larger and I am dealing with a very large leak now
