hiya.
why dont u try 6mm or 8mm micro bore copper, also fit a valve on the return line nearly closed off to restrict the flow, ide take it off the heater matrix pipe work aswell.
ian


Wow thanks ian, i didnt know they did a micro bore, worth a look but the radiators come pre fab'd with 15mm

Iv already built in a stop valve between the pipe runs, do you think adding one on the return run will help?

Can you pls elaborate on why you'd take it off the heater matrix pipe? I was going to t into the exit pipe as close to the engine water jacket as poss

Thanks

Jim
 
the only reason i said heater matrix pipe work , cos its a smaller bore and cheaper on fitting and a lot less pipe work runs, if your rad has valves already you can get reducers down to the size you want, but u got to make sure you balance the return line ie nearly closed off , just to let the flow trickle through,
u could eve try the hole coil its self , connect into your flow and return, valve on the return line and see if it heats up aswell as u would expect it to, u could even make up ur own air vent aswell just to get all the air out?.

What's a P60??? I'm self employed..

Thanks for the detailed reply!

the full setup in the wolf has conex air valves, one in each run of rads down either side of the load bay, since the 2 rads I'm using are the smaller ones, they didn't have them and i had to source / fit them myself- hopefully, bleeding the system shouldn't be a big problem....

The smaller bore would have been useful! Though its only copper pipe through the rads themselves, iv used 13mm I/D car radiator pipe to connect from engine to radiator

Will really need to take some pics but my copper soldering looks like the work experience kids been at it!! (Well, Im a bootneck, not a plumber!)

Just highlighting what a complete ####tard you look when you get a very il conceived opinion on someones post and feel the need to start ranting.
funny how monosyllabic you get when put in your place!

What are you looking for a fight for? :confused:

Reds was one of a range of opinions that the idea is unlikely to work.....which you dismissed out of hand :rolleyes:

If you know all the answers why ask the question?

Red dissmissed the whole idea out of hand that it wouldnt work without reference to the specific question i asked at the start of this post.

If you read through the full thread you'll see how plain rude the guy is and why i felt the need to smash him.

Just to clarify, the question was where to tap in? And has anyone else done this?
Not will it work if i do this.
