Steam vent tube

Can the steam vent tube be hooked with a T fitting in conjunction with the overflow tube?

Thanks,
Andrew

Easiest (and cheapest way?) is to have a nipple welded to the radiator tank. As long as it is below the seal on the bottom of the radiator cap.

Re: Steam vent tube

Cant bolck it, but you dont have to run it through the TB though. It must either run to the top rad hose or the radiator.

Re: Steam vent tube

You could also run it to the return line by making a short pipe with a nipple on it. That is the way I have mine. I also see no reason why you couldn't drill and tap the flat spot on top of the water pump by the return outlet (top one) for a clean look.
