![20200625_151828](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/b/2/b2a52bbc00c97995c9793b60ae99d079bd5e3d19.jpeg) I was working on a replacing a bad fuel injector, when a hose broke, covering me with coolant. Thank God it wasn’t hot, or I’d be in the hospital right now. The hose feeds from behind the engine, into a port on the firewall. I need to look up the part for ordering, but I don’t know the name of it. Hopefully this picture will help, if it uploads properly. Thanks for any help in advance. ---

If the picture is zoomed in too close, let me know, and I’ll upload one from further back. Thanks again. ---

If it’s a coolant hose going to the firewall, it would be one of the two heater hoses. ---

Heater hose. ---

Chances are it is molded for the shape. If you are lucky you might be able to replace with standard hose and clamps. ---

There is a quick connect fitting that attaches to the heater core, I wouldn’t use a hose clamp there. ![2002 Ford heater hose](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/9/4/94135b342beea5d7b7e1f454e812003bab00c391.jpeg) ---

That is the molded piece I was referring to. This would be preferable to using regular heater hose. I should have been more clear. ---

The heater core fittings are smooth, there are no barbs on the tip of the pipes, there is risk of the hose sliding off when using a hose clamp.
