Hey guys, I found what appears to be a dried out seal inside my heater inlet/outlet pipe. I am wondering if there is a Dorman equivalent for the seal or do I have to purchase the entire assembly from the dealer? The GM PArts east catalog indicates that it's "part of 4,7" meaning the adapters but purchasing both would run me almost $50.

If I have to get the entire adapter assembly, is there a good aftermarket product for that as well?

What I found:

Try heater hose connector or heater hose fitting at the parts store.

I had a hell of a time locating the part but now I know what they are. They are only like $4 for the pair.

Youd be better off getting the aluminum ones though.

I hope it's the same part were talking about.

Are these what your talking about?

DORMAN Part # 47065HP

The thing he's talking about, does nothing as mine broke the same way and my heater core still functions perfectly... Take out all the broken parts and forget it. I think it's a one way valve, but it is a restriction in the system and not really needed.

No, unfortunately the aluminum coolant elbow is not what I'm talking about.. (part 10 in the explosion diagram)
