Slant heater hose connector

Take a look at the brass pex connectors.

I saved a bunch of money on a ford focus by using bulk straight hose and the brass pex connectors for the the bends rather than all the individual hoses with the preformed bends.

I even managed to solder 2 different size pex connectors together for the hose that was different sizes on each end. Just put the adapter in the middle of 2 different size hoses.
