| Where is the correct place to plumb it? I went from the block drain to the water pump and it won't circulate. |

| Been a long time, but if memory serves I went from the block drain to the thermostat housing. Dont remember if there was a plug or I drilled and tapped. |

tank installed vertically ? if it's laying down it probably won't circulate correctly |

| It's at about a 45 degree angle. |

| Goes from the bottom of the block to the thermostat housing on the near side of the thermostat. I used two short of rubber hose and a small piece of metal to get the block heater completely vertical. Ironic question for a 90 degree day |

You are risking burning up the element, that way. Proper way is to have it in a vertical line. ------------- Source: Babylon Bee. Sponsored by BRAWNDO, its got what you need! |

| I always do have them vertical, but mine doesn't have an outlet on the thermostat housing. Thanks everyone for the info! |
