in Oil Heating
I'm replacing my Unifilter 99 dealio with a better setup and I can't find a satisfactory way to run the oil line up from the floor and into the shut off valve.
The way it is now is basicaly a 3/8" Flare on a 90 degree elbow and then onto a 3/8" Nipple and into the filter. (Try and picture it.) Is there not such a thing as a banjo or swivel connector or something?
Whats the best way to do this. Do you just reef it on there? Im woried the fitting will break on that last turn into the station.
I have the issue of rotation. Ie, the point at which the valve is tight may not be straight up and down.
