Yes, and its not clear to me that when the operating presure of the system builds up, they won't just allow coolant to vent out of the system. I think a tap is a safer bet myself unless someone can reassure me otherwise :roll:
Reassurance comming up...................... :lol:

They are available to operate up to 200c and 25 bar, ok? :wink:
To infinity and beyond
