Default Re: Reproduction RADIATORS

Here are a couple pictures showing the original radiator and water pipe. Notice how the outlet angles out and down. The first picture was someone's 1928 or 1929 at the Gilmore museum. The second picture shows my 28 radiator upside down so I could backflush it. You need a lot of water volumn for a good backflush, and the sump pump works well for the job. Notice that this water pipe is used for ALL 1928-9 radiators due to the angle of the bottom outlet pipe. This IS NOT a powerhouse only pipe.
