um... yes!
now all those guys ****ting themselves for spending $500! LMAO!!!!
Remember Cam, we are at Comp D LOL ....... This is not the place where folks generally come to buy ready-made kits(for many applications) that have been tested. Steve's kit is a proven kit that performs as advertised. Can it be done cheaper? Yep, but nobody else has one you can buy off the shelf that comes close.
I did a lot of staring at it today....just running different things through the old melon.
I decided to not tap the radiator. I am gonna go ahead and go into the t-stat housing. I don't like the idea of tapping it....even after I went this morning and bought a brand new 1/2NPT tap. Seeing the tap got me thinking so I pulled the radiator hose to see how thick it is. IMHO...not nearly thick enough for a 14 tpi tap.
I pulled the housing off and gonna take it to the maintenence shop guy tomorrow to drill it and weld on a 1/2NPT fitting. I assume it's cast iron...but with the right rod no worries.
I also went today to look at other fittings and honestly...the ID of the valve I bought is only a hair over 1/2" so I'm just gonna stick with the fittings and hose I have for now. MOstly because I'm in BFE right now and I really don't have a choice. I'll go bigger when I get back to civilization and can actually have a selection of stuff to pick from.
SO....that's where I'm at today.
