Infiniti manufacturer think they slick with these cheap parts
[QUOTE=Nitro15;4321444]Hello everyone, I'm searching for some guidance to hopefully correct a larger problem from occurring down the road (no pun intended ). Recently, I've been hearing what sounds like water sloshing around behind the dash on the passenger side of the car. My research led to me believe that it's either air in the cooling system or a possible blockage in the A/C condensate line. I'm in the process of checking the cooling system & have not seen any leaks, cracks in the radiator hoses, or noticed any drop in performance. The car does not overheat & the temp gauge is right where it should be. After researching a bit further, I decided to check the heater hose connector since that particular part seems to fail at a certain point. I've attached a photo of mine & was wondering if there's anything to be concerned about? My car is approximately 10 years old with 118k miles on My part broke off as I enter highway wat a bitch got replacement from home depot

I'm looking to do this myself. I want to put in a bleeder version after somebody somewhere said to use Dorman 47291 which is a 3/4" OD coupler. But Every website says it's not for my 2010 G37 Coupe. Can anybody verify that will work?

I see no reason why that unit would not work. Dorman 56430 is a straight ¾" connector and the one you listed is the same thing but with a bleeder port. Sometimes it is best to rely on common sense than depend on catalogs- especially from Dorman and the like... their accuracy can be sporadic. As long as the diameter is ¾" I think you will be fine. I am using a cheap ¾" brass fitting that I bought from Home Depot for a few bucks with zero issues.
While I can understand the desire of wanting the bleeder port, I think it is overkill. But, your car your decision.

Yes, Common sense..3/4" OD. I just thought it strange the G wasn't listed as compatible. I chose the bleeder version since it's in stock at my local Oreilly & the Dorman 56430 isn't. And it's closer than any HW store..
Thanks..
Thanks..
