Re: Heater Hose Ideas

That looks to be the quick fix on a leaking heater core. No reason you can't just do as Troy SR suggested and take the pipe fittings out and put in pipe plugs. Unless you are planning on redoing the heater in short order, then just cut one end of the hose off and make a shorter loop and call it good. That means you have to buy new hose when you hook it back up but that is a good idea anyhow.
