Good morning all.
I come to seeking opinions on a split flow choice. The setup I've got has two identical radiators and as I map out the water loop its starting to look very appealing to do a split ahead of them and merge afterwards vs chaining them in a serial path. This is purely for aesthetics, I think the loop will look much nicer with that setup vs the path I'd take if I chained them.
So my question: Could I get away with regular a T split vs going with Y split fittings to do this? Assuming equal distance and all that? I know that every corner added to a loop will slightly increase the resistance to flow so ideally using a Y split and then another Y merge after the rads is ideal, but is it that big of a factor?
I ask because I do not currently have any Y splitters, only a couple of those 3 & 4 way cube blocks, trying to talk myself into either placing the order and waiting for them to show up, or proceeding with the T blocks and hope for the best.
Or I shelf the whole thing and go for serially chaining them like my original plan.
