Could a machine shop replicate Richardson System(see older systems this site) trapless elbow return which includes ball cock and dip tube?

    Anything is possible

    If you got the do-re-mi. :-)



    The hard part would be reproducing those castings, or welding up something reasonably close from standard pipe sections. It would help if technical drawing were available. The pictures in the PDF leave quite a bit to the imagination, so it could take a few iterations to get something that actually worked.

    17C

    I just used a Hoffman 17C radiator trap. Seemed to work fine.
