Area Representative paul richards Posted November 17, 2016 Area Representative Share Posted November 17, 2016 Original comment deleted. I should have read your query properly. I assume query relates to an SBD top hose thermostat. I would be interested to know exactly how this is fitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham King Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 LD, I can't quite picture what you mean, I'm not with my car but I don't think I have an unused connector on top of the expansion bottle. If this would mean the bypass would go into the expansion tank then I wouldn't have thought that was advisable. mine is t'eed into the hose that runs from the 16mm hose that runs between the bottom of the expansion tank and the submarine.

lotusdave Posted November 18, 2016 Author Share Posted November 18, 2016 thanks graham ,so i could put an extra fitting onto the submarine rather a t piece ,as its neater ,would that work the same david Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham King Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 David, yes that would achieve the same thing, assuming you can find a way of ensuring it seals properly. Mine is a QED kit and comes with the 16/8/16 Tee included, it's really simple to fit.Graham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanical Moz Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 You can get a submarine with two outlets, one for connecting the expansion tank and one for the remote thermostat bypass. You can see it in this pic, engine removed for clarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
