How to repair a broken radiator overflow tube

Plastic radiator tanks can become brittle and crack over time. One especially weak area is the nipple for tairsept permatubehe overflow tube that leads to the coolant recovery bottle or coolant reservoir. In the past, if the nipple cracked or broke off, you’d have to replace the entire radiator. Not anymore. Just purchase an AirSept Permatube™ kit #65605 to repair the broken radiator overflow tube.

The kit include a drill bit, stop and two replacement overflow tubes. Simply drill out the old tube, then insert a curved insert through the hole in the radiator neck. Screw on the replacement nipple and O-ring and tighten. Re-attach the overflow tube and you’re done.
