HWlabs SR2 multiport issue

[Sprucemoose]

Dear Sir,

Please give us the full details on if the part worked or didn't. Also post pictures of the new part and how the performance is

Thank You

Will do as soon as I get the countersunk plugs. Still waiting for them to arrive from China (Aliexpress).

Ok, so I received my brass countersunk fittings today. I dry fitted them, and they seem to be a perfect fit. They can be turned all the way to the bottom of the threads, and together with some Loctite, I think this will work. They don't protrude at all, so mounting the radiator level to the chassis can be done without spacers. I measured the height of the plug to 7.7mm. The plug stops and won't rotate further than the pictures, and they can't be inserted the "wrong" way. I guess that means that the threads are tapered? I can't see any physical tapering of the plug itself, though.

EDIT: Loctite 243 applied. Now, it'll rest for a day.

Nice. Those will work fine.

Yep, there is a 1.78ish degree taper. Just enough to seal.

I was thinking of returning the rad for one without ports on one side. But perhaps the countersunk plug is a good option. Did you have any issues with the system ?

No problems so far. Been running silky smooth since I built it. No leaks observed, and the fluid level has stayed constant. Very happy with it

Be aware that there are differences between green, blue and red Loctite. I don't know the specifics here, but I used a blue one (Loctite 243).
