WanderingKid Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with doing a radiator bypass. Pictures below, but continuous flow just seems to stop dead. I've darkened the regions of vents not involved in this radiator (they're for hydrogening the rooms). I THINK I can get it to flow if I stick a valve in the middle somewhere after the bypass, but that seems overkill. Is it necessary? EDIT: Okay, eventually a valve kicked it into gear. Not sure if it was because I caused a space in the pipe or what, but it's moving now. What might have been the original problem though, does anyone know?

Whispershade Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Pipe too full for that configuration, the simplest solution was to just bust out a pipe and leave a gap. Which you did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you want to avoid the problem in the future, you can make the pipe that runs through the input of the regulator at least one longer than the insertion point of the bypass output. So that when the regulator is down it, the flow has some clearance to make space at the end of the snake, as it were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WanderingKid Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 @Whispershade I'll have to give that a try, thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
