Title: Line length
Post by: The Chaz on July 17, 2008, 02:46:10 PM: Does the length of the lines coming from the basset T to the headers HAVE to be the same length? I have seen them both with equal length and with one short. Will it effect the header water enough to matter?

But If memory serves, the short one steams first, but steams less :-\

We Always strive to make all water and fuel etc lines like that equal length and routing for the best water flow some times its a bitch but its "cleaner" and better Tom
