Title: plumbing questions.
Post by: 454jesse on May 25, 2012, 04:15:04 PM

So here is my problems and questions.
I have been searching for answers,diagrams and I'm getting seriously comfused

I would like to run a manual control valve for my headers but I'm not sure how the lines are ran from the pump to that. This is where I need a diagram...

I have the bassett tee for precautionary reasons. I have read about a relief valve not sure where that goes and i have also read about a gate valve at the dump line.

I would like for someone to start from the pump and guide me through the plumbing process with the size hoses and what not. I would also like to get links and information on where to purchase these relief valves and manual control ( USED WOULD BE GREAT)...

I am also curious as If I can put a 45deg fitting straight off the pump to get the line tuck tight to my stronger under the rail kit. Just my preference on the cleanliness.

Thank you for your responses and the time you will be taking to help me get on the water. Jesse

When you mention 1/2 what size steel braided line is that. #8 or #10. Also I can just use a standard gate valve instead of that fancy box valve correct.

As far as the relief valve is that something I can make on my own or find something similar at a plumbing supply house. Pics or links would be great.

Gate valve at pump. Ball valve at seat. No valve on dump line.

with HEADERS, I run a gate valve at the pump, Tee, one side (1/2") goes to water ports on the motor, the other (1/4") goes to the drivers seat, ball valve, and returns to the headers. Did this 1/4" in ss braided, as well as main feed to motor. On 7th season this way.
