Coolant hose sizes for B2620?

[GPintheMitten]

I am building a cab for my B2620. (See thread here).

I want to put a heater in it and need help / info regarding plumbing the heater hose. I'm looking at the Maradyne universal which has 5/8" heater hose bibs.

What are the diameters of the 2 different hoses on the 2620?

Does it matter where you plumb into the coolant?

Thanks.

If no one knows the sizes does any one know about where in the system you can plumb the heater hose. Maybe it doesn't matter.

If your water pump has a bypass hose... that will be the best source of heat... use your heater core loop when needing Hot water... during summer mts. replace the original bypass ...

Thanks. I'll study it a bit. The parts explosion diagram shows a drain hose but there may be something else.

The bypass loop will work perfect, hose is around 1/2 inch.... But you can Not block the water flow completely off. So when you are not allowing the coolant to flow through the heater core You must put the bypass loop back.
