Hi Michael,

That's the orientation I used, except with about a 60 deg slant.  As Ed
says, it was for space constraints.  Outlet at the bottom, inlet at the
top.  For the car installation, I'm going to try cutting the ends off
and getting two cores welded together to simplify the plumbing.  On the
plane, I used AN16 fittings and had to make the spacing between the
cores equal to an AN16 "T" plus two AN16 couplers to make it work.

Bob W.
