I have previously used a remote heater valve, is this the one that you have?

if so, you will find the four outlets are designed for the standard 5/8 inch heater hose. I am unclear as to where the barbed fitting you are talking about is located.

if the connection you are talking about is the connection to the under-car heater pipes, they are also designed for 5/8 inch heater hose and incorporate a full circumference raised bead.

although not cheap, I would encourage you to look into using silicone hose for your heater installation. Very flexible and durable, be sure to scuff the inside of the hose and use the correct T-bolt clamps.

I don’t know if I touched on your problem. Please give us more information to include location, etc. and we will try to troubleshoot from afar.

Hey Larry

The unit from Wilkinson has a flare fitting that goes to original heating valve, I need a male flare x 5/8" barb to go to that female flare fitting.

That's the exact remote valve I have

Thank you for the photos. Worth far more than 1000 words.

from the photos I think you have a 3/8 inch aluminum line. Or it could be 1/2 inch. Because the evaporators are fabricated here in California I suspect they are standard number six and number eight flare fittings. I don’t believe metric comes into the equation.

you might have to hunt to find one with 5/8 inch barb, or use more than one fitting, combined to create what you need
