How well this works in practice is another matter but it would be interesting to see.
Ryan, I now have 3X 1/8 holes. I am wondering about significantly more, maybe 6, 8 or maybe 10. I doubt I would ever end up with as much bypass this way as Jim's 5/8 hose. For that, I'd need 25 X 1/8" holes. There would not be much T'stat left if I did that!
