Thumbs up Latest upgrade to manual cooling

So instead of running the tubes between the radiator and condenser I decided on another upgrade. I purchased 2 180 degree sprinkler nozzles from Lowe's with a 1/4 inch diameter barbed fitting and I purchased 1/4 inch clear tubing. I mounted the nozzles over the radiator and condenser pointing downward between the fans and now I get a nice uniform, spray that covers the entire radiator and condenser with considerably more with than my previous set up. Cooling the engine now takes less time. included are some photos and a diagram.


Materials used: *For dual nozzles, this can also be accomplished with one nozzle*

1.) 1/4 inch diameter clear tubing (legnth depends on diastance from washer reservoir to radiator)

2.) 2- 180 degree plasic sprinkler heads with 1/4 diameter barbed end

3.) Zip ties

4.) Check valve and Y- splitter tubing (optional)
