Bypassing Thermo Regulator for Radiator


Recommended Posts

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?

Ah, thanks!

 

I did not mention it last time. 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.
