"I'm also wondering what I can use to pinch the hoses?"

vice grips. they will "test" just how resilient your hoses are, but they
work for temp. pinching while you apply a joint to the ends of the hoses
you're connecting.

I've look around at the archives.  I think I'm going to remove the hoses
at the T joints.  Most complicated short term, least complicated long
term.  I'm not getting rid of the heater; I'll store it and re-install
it when I move to Northern Alberta.

My next question is in regards to a replacement for the T joints.  What
materials should I avoid, other than ones that will melt?  Is there any
metal that will cause corrosive problems when in contact with coolant?

I'm also wondering what I can use to pinch the hoses?
