Currently there is a small hose about the size of a garden hose that connects the block with the radiator.
I would like to maintain this hose on the radiator as well as install the heater within the same port. There is not quite enough clearance to install a T pipe fitting. I was considering copper sweating the piping.
Was curious of the plus and minuses of eliminating the small hose that connects to the radiator and merely installing the block heater into the female thread of the block
I purchased a block heater and have removed the threaded hose bib from the block.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, and especially any references to threads within this forum that addresses this issue or any other web references.
Anything with a photographs would be even better.
Thanks for the consideration.
