Scott,

I pulled mine out of my Renesis before sending the engine to Bruce T for
modifications and reassembly. Bruce said I should have welded it shut
and not removed it. He said the material was not thick enough to thread.
He plugged the hole and safety wired it also. My be different on the
Rrenesis.

Subject: [FlyRotary] Heater Outlet Threaded?

Hello Everyone...

The attached photos depict the heater outlet.  I had originally hoped
to just use regular heater hose and barbed fittings.  However, as my
setup has come together there are just too many things trying to make
too  many turns.  What I really needed was a 5/8" 45 degree or 90 degree
barbed fitting.  I tried my usual spot of fittingsandadapters.com , but
no  luck.  Thus, I am considering tearing the fitting out of the housing
and replacing it with an AN fitting which I can use with socketless hose
or something of the like.

It looks like the fitting is not pressed into the housing, but rather
screwed in( I have been unsuccessful at turning it even using heat and
cold ).  

Is it really screwed into the housing?  If so, would it be to much to
hope for it to be 1/2"npt?
Any ideas on how to salvage the simple barbed on hose setup?

Any info, thoughts, and references are appreciated....

Thx...
-Scott
