Just got an emergency with the radiator hose Tee - BROKE!. Need car, parts need to order but Thanksgiving. Can I use a Copper Tee from home depot? Please respond before they close. Thank you guys!

 

The short answer is yes. It's not a hard fix and most go with Galvi pipe like this>>

Thanks. Actually I run to homedepot earlier and purchased the brass Tee for $8 and installed it. While I was there I used a 2 ball pin hammer to widen all the ends so the hose wont slide out. So far it works.

 

I'm glad you solved your immediate problem. Do you know what caused it to break? I'm not aware of that happening spontaneously.

 

It started leaking. After a while, I thought the clamp was loose so I bought a screw type pipe clamp. The plastic got brittle already and start to crumble. It disintegrated inside the hose. You can actually chip the plastic with your fingers.
