this system has adjustable seats in its radiator traps. Does anyone know how they should be adjusted???? I posted some pictures of the traps also!!

    Looks like they just screw in

    but if the threads go all the way thru the trap bodies, try setting them so there is about 1/16" between the element and the seat when the trap is cold.
