ok, installed heater went to rtest it and the standard water bypass valve had a crack in it and leaked inside the car. yay .
I did a wurzel and put a manual water shut off valve in there now lol. all connected back up but heres my question:
how much overlap does the hose have to have on the connection?
I understand its at about 11-14 psi pressure and temps of 100deg, but on the copper bends im using i get the width of the clamp and the same again to the end of the fitting. so maybe 5-6mm bite under clamp and same to end of fitting.
Am i risking them poping off or the clamp will be fine to hold them on.
Just thought of it after i reinstalled it all and topped up the coolant.
