The 2 fresh water lines and 1 of the coolant lines are located on 1 side of the heat exchanger, I would point that toward the driver seat. The 1 return coolant line on the opposite side sits highest on the heat exchanger. I would point that towards the rear and install a Y with a bleeder valve on it... Seems easy, functional, low enough to not interrupt the engine coolant system, and out of the way.

So Pete is willing to take it back, the way he's talking I'll definitely be waiting until November to get the PTO long tube style heat exchanger from him. Dwain I would happily and gratefully loan your tube style heat exchangers and pay for shipping and throw in a box of chocolates 😁

BUT! What if I slap that thing on the floor behind my waste tank? I'd only have to relocate the transfer pump closer to the drivers seat on the other side of the blower exhaust. Seems like this may work really easily. Then I'd have a massive volume of hot water and no need to deal with Pete. What do you think?

Ill take um apart tonight and rig um to test. I should be able to ship um to you by Thursday or Friday. I wouldn't spend alot of time or energy figuring where to put um it'll come pretty natural once you get um. Pm me your phone number, ill give it to FedEx and you can deal with payment for shipping directly with them. I just bought a new 1/2 torque wrench from harbor freight yesterday i think the box it came in is a perfect size for these heat exchangers if so ill pack um and save you that much. If not FedEx will charge for packaging also. These heat exchangers are good to 550psi don't run um any higher. I was pushing um to 800 for my hose washer and thats how i kept blowing um. Because I had so many used but good bundles laying around i didn't bother taking the time to test um i just swapped out the hole thing and was back cleaning in an hour. When you get um remember when plumbing hot in to hot out meaning you soulition enters the same side of the exchangers that the coolant exits so the hot soulition exits the same side that the as the hottest coolant enters. If reversed you won't get the max heat out of them. You're welcome to use them as long as you need but I DO WANT THEM BACK

Thanks Dwain, but before we go that route... what do you think about me using the Blue Baron heat exchanger in the location I posted pictures of?

With these you won't need a bleeder valve . The way there built theres no place for air to accumulate. The coolant goes thru the tubes and the soulition is flowing around them in the shell

I was talking about the heat exchanger from Blue Baron. Maybe you didn't see it posted earlier but I am wondering if I should just go ahead and mount the Blue Baron heat exchanger in the location I described behind my waste tank, I posted pictures of it. Seems like it will be super easy to drop it in and run lines to it. Hadn't thought of it before this morning...

I can't answer that for you. Thats something that you have to figure out. Do you want to keep it or get the one you ordered? Thats your decision. I will say this, once you attempt to install you bought it . If retuns are difficult now they will be impossible after. Let me know so i don't tear these bundles apart and pressure test.if your going to keep that one ill just put these back on the shelf. The only machine i have that uses um is my spare and it has a fresh bundle in it so there just spares for a machine in not using
