Quick Change from Chiller to Rad

Titan151 · 06-06-2004, 12:46 AM

Hi all,

I am looking for a way to be able to change over from my chiller to my radiator without making too big of a mess. I was thinking of a setup as pictured below. What I need is to find where I can get a "Y" that will allow me to stop the flow at both ends and allow me to redirect the water to the radiator. This way if I am working on the chiller I can leave the system on. I may also want to take this thing to a LAN and it would be nice to be able to leave the chiller at home. Any suggestions? Anybody out there know of where I could get a "Y" like this from. I have 3/8" tubing and haven't found anything like this in my size. I have checked the big hardware stores and other such places. This way If I can get it setup I won't have to spill anymore antifreeze on the carpet. (starting to get a little green in color)

Image doesn't seem to work for me.
Might not be working for anyone else, either... ?

You could put in a Y and then have a valve at each output. I dont think any double valve Y adapter with 3/8" tubing exists.
