Simple radiator positioning Q

Don K · 10-22-04, 05:13 AM

I've been unable to find a definite answer to this, so I'll post it here:

Hooking a DD D4 pump up with a D-Tek JR120 (in that order), are there any "requirements" as to whether the radiator barbs being up or down?

"Requirements" meaning risk of cavitation, pump efficiency etc...

Edit: The pump manual specifies that the pump should be placed between point of highest static pressure (bottom of loop, i know) and the lowest point in the setup.

If I understand correctly, that means the radiator needs to have the barbs near the cabinet floor (i only have a midi case)?

No. Just make sure you bleed all the air out.

again, radiator position doesn't matter, just rotate the radiator or case to get ALL the air out

air = evil
evil = bad
evil air = 60 bucks for a new pump

water = good
working pump = good
working WC = $60 you are able to send to pat for another pump...
