    I'm looking into prices of tungsten carbide grit hole saws (I looked at MK Morse) and I figure if they are not too expensive it would be great to drill out an already 1" tap from a hot water beauty slowly and then tap it for 2" so steam can be happily supplied and condensate can be happily returned. What are your experiences?

    It really wouldn't be practical since this rad is about 40 plus sqft edr and 9 sections at 38". A 1" supply for steam is just not proper sizing considering this rad. It should be at least 1 1/4 " because of the reduction at the angle valve. I don't think I'll be using it anyways so my idea is kaput =) Thanks though Bob
