A quick way of dealing with joining the 2 heater hoses together would be to
buy one of those Prestone coolant flushing kits from any FLAPS.  They come
with 3 different sized tees that you should be able to use.  Remember to
clamp off the 2 hoses before you disconnect them from the heater so that you
won't need to bleed the cooling system.  Good luck,

Subject: rear heater coolant leak

Well I discovered that my rear heater is leaking coolant. It appears to be
coming from the on off valve. I really don't use this heater and I could use
the extra space. So I want to remove it and just connect the two ends of the
two coolant hoses with some type of coupling using the existing clamps. Does
anyone know what size & type of coupling I should use? And where to
purchase? I need this very soon as I will be leaving on a trip in a couple
of days.
Thanks,
Bill
