Radiator Orientation

[JackyBoy]

Im trying to figure out how to attatch 2 radiators (PA120.3) around my case (p182), i fancy putting one on top and one hanging off the back. But my dad reckons i will have to have them both upright with the bleeding screw at the top otherwise, if its on its side, air will get trapped in the top above the inlet hole. Can anyone confirm that my way will actually be ok? (becuase i hate it when hes right )

Cheers JackyBoy

Over time any trapped air should dissipate and be expelled in the res. However if they are mounted in place while the loop is filled you will get a lot of air in them that needs clearing.

Best thing to do is leave the radiators free to move around, moved to a lower position, be twisted, turned and shaken during filling. Then when you are satisfied that they are completely full, mount them.
