Abstract: A radiator joint is provided that include a first component, a second component and a weld seam, that together define a bird beak joint. The first component has generally circular cross-sectional profile. At an end of the first body there is a bird beak cut section that forms a first mating surface. The second component can function as a manifold. It has a generally rectangular cross sectional profile and an aperture. The aperture extends along at least two sides of the second component. The weld seam is disposed at the first mating surface and couples the first component to the second component. A fluidic seal is thereby formed between the hollow interior and the exterior while defining a fluid flow path through the first and second components.
