I have a closed hot water radiator system that I have to manually bleed at each radiator. Will this work for a closed system?

I have a couple of these installled. I prefer the bigger brass one. I had one of these that stopped working and it leaked some. I Have a couple of the bigger brass ones and they work great.

Whether you have one knob that controls both the hot and cold or two separate knobs for hot and cold, this shower head will work. It connects to the overhead valve that comes out of your wall in your shower. The arm is pretty long, but I bought an additional extention arm so the head would be in the middle of my shower. I love it. Buy it. You won't be disappointed.

yes you may. many install between heater and shutoff to prevent over-pressurization in the rare case your shut off at the heater is closed.... very rare. Anywhere between heater and Presure regulating valve is OK

I have used this, and it worked good for me. I first drained all coolant from car, then flushed the cooling system with clean water until clean clear water was all in the motor block, and radiator. You must remove the thermostat before flush, and sealer is ran. After good flushing, drain some of the water , then add the head sealer , top off with water in the radiator. Now let the car run for a few hr's. Get it warm. Don't let it over heat. Some say they leave it in a few days, and drive it with the sealer in before re-filling with proper coolant. It will not work if any coolant is in the system when using the head sealer. I have used it on 2 cars, and both are fine now. Worked great for me.

Just suck out about a half gallon of antifreeze with a suction gun more if you feel the need. A cheap suction gun is faster and easier than trying to get that radiator drain open on late model GM cars. Do this first and very little coolant will be in the intake if any. When finished refill the radiator before starting the engine and be sure to open the bleeder on the thermostat housing to bleed air out of the system after refilling the radiator . Have the engine running during the bleeding.

There is a good 8 minute "how to" video on YouTube by EdzGarage called "Water Pump and Thermostat replacement e46 BMW 325i". You might want to take a look at it. He doesn't drain the cooling system, but he does replace the coolant lost during the procedure by bleeding the system.

It would depend on the appliance you were running off the cylinder. Most appliances have their own integral regulator.

It is not designed to. The unit works by blowing air through a venturi valve that creates a vacuum in the cooling system (to the tune of 24-26"). If there is much coolant in the system, it will blow it out the venturi resulting in quite a mess. (it even sucked some residual coolant out of mine after I'd drained it) The UView works very well for its intended purpose, I just don't think your application is it. If you know you have a leak, it will help you find it. It also works great for refilling the system. You suck the empty system to vacuum, flip a couple valves, and it'll suck a gallon of antifreeze dry in a few seconds.

Mine was an internal leak, and to my knowledge it is activated by simply by temperature differentials at the leak point. From what I understand, it is supposed to work with external leaks too.

Hi MichaelI believe that fitting would go into your radiator and the hose then would slid over the barbed end. I did not use this fitting for my project.

The comfort valve under your sink, which connects the hot and cold water lines, is not working correctly and needs to be replaced. That valve should automatically close when it senses that the water temperature from the hot water side reaches approximately 90 degrees or more. Your valve is failing to close allowing hot water to flow to the cold water side continuously. Sometimes, even a new comfort valve can be bad. I had this same problem. Replacing the comfort valve solved the problem.

Yes. This particular radiator has the cooling line fittings for the automatic transmission. As long as you are pulling out the radiator, change out the water pump as well-you have so much more room to work on that with the radiator out of the way. Hope this helps.

Good question. All depends how much heat you have going out your pipe. If it has a automatic fan on it there may not be enough heat in the pipe to make enough heat for the fan to work. Joe

Email the company, you might need another type of adapter if your radiator has a remote fill.

Not sure how this regulator would function in hot water. It is designed to regulate water pressure at the inlet (cold side). Regulating the pressure after the hot water heater may place high (unregulated) pressure on the heat tubes, especially if corrosion is present.

It is a closed loop system. I am sure it is possible, but it will be a pain to bleed afterwards.

Yes. As long as you have a return line running back to your water heater. You do not need a separate return line at every faucet. You need one return line. Follow your hot water pipe to the end (last branch takeoff), cut in a tee and run pex or copper. At the bottom of your tank style water heater there is a small, usually plastic valve. Remove that valve and screw in a 3/4" brass or stainless pipe nipple. Then install a tee inline with side outlet looking up and in the end of the tee put a brass drain valve to replace the crappy plastic one if applicable. The side connection on the tee you installed is where you will connect your return line you just ran. I did not notice if this pump had a built in check valve but if not you may want one to prevent water from flowing through both the hot water main and the hot water return to the faucet nearest the end. Water will follow the path of least resistance so the last branch on the main usually ends up being similar in distance to the water heater from either line. As a result water can back feed up the return line and will bring the cold water entering the tank with it. This is especially true when a second source of hot water is being used at the same time hence the need for a check valve.
