Coolant regulator

[thatguy]

What type of regulators do you guys run off the jet unit for regulating water PSI to the engine?

Ive always used 3/4 ball valve with -10 line

Thats what I also have been using, but I want to change that. I've got way to much $ into this one to risk milkshaking it. Like I have before!
Thanks, Tommy

Just your standard Watts water pressure reducing regulator, get it from Grainger, Home Depot, Lowes. This Pic is from HBJets old Liberty.

Thanks,
Does that unit have a bypass, or is it just a straight regulator?

Straight regulator. I've run the same one for 5 yrs now with no problems. I have a Water Pressure guage in the dash and never see more than 25 lbs at WOT and around 15 to 18 cruising.

McMaster-carr.com, Item #9763K11. Catalog page 446. I have a "T" at the pump. One side to the regulator, one side to the engine. Regulator is attached directly to a thru-hull fitting. It is set to bypass at 15 PSI.
