What are these coolant hoses called?

[maillemaker]

Dumb question here.

I am replacing my thermostat housing with a new one that has an NPT port for adding a temperature sensor.

There is a small 90-degree rubber hose that attaches to it that goes to the water pump. There is another from the water pump that goes to a hard line towards the back of the motor - I'm guessing to the heater.

What are those hoses called so I can buy them? I assume you can't use standard hose as it would kink being bent so tightly?

I'm not having any luck on the O'Reilley web site.

Heater hose clamps

 

[RAU03MACH]

Spring lock clamp

That's the best way to describe
Junk is another term

 

[maillemaker]

Not the clamps, the hoses themselves. Do they have a name?

 

[RAU03MACH]

Hose assembly with lock clamps
I just ask for heater hoses or heater core hoses by year

heater cross over tubes I think they are called but they are one of those parts that are specific to 94/95 because of the size(different from fox/thicker I think) are really hard to find. The o-rings that go in the bottom are known to rot out and can be replaced with a little bit of work. I think I still have one that I replaced the rings in and I just need to flare the bottom back out so it will lock in place.

He is asking about the hoses , nothing about the tubes

are you asking about the tubes or hoses

 

[maillemaker]

I am asking about the 2 short rubber hoses that go from the water pump to the a) thermostat housing and b) to the heater crossover tube (I guess that is what it is called).

The very short one turns 90 degrees and I figure you would need a molded hose for that or it would kink if you tried to make it from regular hose. The longer one can probably be made from regular heater hose but it bends rather tightly also.

I assumed these were formed hoses.

You can see them in the images below I dug up from the internet:

I’m on my way to the parts store to get the one from the water pump to thermostat housing right now

 

[RAU03MACH]

water pump to thermostat hose that is the only name of description
and what it has been known as

 

[Musturd]

Coolant bypass hose it’s sometimes called

Maybe these are it.

Looks like the right ones to me .

The short 90 is a coolant bypass hose.
The other is just standard heater hose (in the picture)

I'm glad you folks found it and even more glad you're using the big green O so I can retire one day.

I have found most of the autoparts stores to be great investments the past few years and it does take some of the sting out of buying parts if you get it from a store you have stock in.

It's hard for me to use local chain stores anymore. $40 for their house brand 'lifetime' part or for around the same cost w/shipping I can get OEM or better from RockAuto or amazon. There are a couple local NAPA stores and one O'Reilly where they have decent staff and I have a good rapport with - but the price differences sometimes are just ridiculous

On stuff like heater horses and coolant bypass hoses that I can get right away it’s hard not to use the parts store when it’s 3 mins away . I do order lots of stuff online though .

I use to be all about ordering online and saving money till I started seeing how good the fakes looked but how badly they performed.
