- Includes two connectors to replace both vulnerable heater hose junctions
- Quickly resolves common heater core and tee coolant leaks

The Pleoos 2-Piece Heater Inlet Hose Connector Tee Set is designed specifically for owners of popular General Motors full-size trucks and SUVs. Factory heater hose tees on vehicles like the Chevy Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon, and Cadillac Escalade are notorious for becoming brittle, cracking, and causing sudden coolant loss after years of heat cycling. This two-piece set provides a direct replacement for factory part numbers 15055343, 15055342, 800-413, and 800-414.
In terms of fit and build quality, these connectors mirror the original GM dimensions closely. The quick-connect fittings clip into place securely on the heater core inlet pipes without requiring hose alterations or aftermarket adapters. Having both the black and white connectors in one package ensures you can refresh both junction points at the same time, preventing a second failure down the road.
During installation, proper preparation is essential for long-term success. Mechanics and experienced DIYers recommend coating the internal O-rings and heater core tubes with clean coolant or silicone lubricant before snapping the fittings into place. Installing them dry can pinch or displace the internal rubber seals, which leads to slow coolant seepage.
Overall, the Pleoos heater hose connector set offers an accessible, functional solution for resolving cooling leaks. For vehicle owners dealing with dripping heater lines or performing routine cooling system maintenance, this kit delivers dependable performance at a fraction of dealership prices.
