Two 1 1/4" X 20 1/2" brass sink drain tubes from your local home improvement store.
These are nickel-chrome plated and hold up well under hood.
Cut the tubes to size and connect with 2 radiator hose (1 1/4" ) 90's and 1 straight at the thermostat.

No flared ends, just regular stainless hose clamps and no leaks or slippage.Quite old thread but....
Do you flared the ends on the drain pipe to prevent slippage?
Didn't flare, and I ditched the hose clamps in favor of Gates powergrip heat shrink clampsQuite old thread but....

Sink drain pipe, 1 1/4", mine still have the threads on each end. Clamps came from Speedway Motors, but Summit or Jegs should have em, possibly a napa store, "Gates PowerGrip"Well, after visiting 4 Home Depot stores with no luck finding this.
I plan to do this using 2 aluminum pipes, 2 90 degrees elbow and 1 straight connector.
Pipe size 1 1/2
Lenght 36 inches
What claps are those?
