It has two clamps with a connector. Someone previously posted that he used that to put the Prestone T-connector. No cutting required. I have the Prestone kit but have not installed it yet. I will probably use that hose when I install it so that I don't have to cut it. Caveat. It was also mentioned that with this method, it doesn't do a full flush.
