Hot Shower install help

Hi Kato Kid.

I cannot help you directly other than to suggest you go back to where you purchased it and they may be able to help. What about your local mechanic. That may be one avenue. I do not know the Hilux otherwise I would love to help. If you are in a 4WD club maybe one of the members may help.

Where are you?

Hey

I have one in my Patrol but I assume they are all very similar. I could take a photo later today and post that if that will help?

I have a twine unit

These pics aren't too good as I don't take delivery of the vehicle untill friday but show where it usually gets installedImage Could Not Be FoundImage Could Not Be FoundImage Could Not Be Found
and the hose fittings for the shower head etc poke out the grill.

Go to the Glind website and download theie instructions. You should be able to adapt them to your brand.

you dont actually "T" into any hose. The heat exchanger is fitted INLINE in the heater hose and normally the cold water (external source) is arranged so that the cold flow (what you are using for the shower) is being pumped in the reverse direction to that of the coolant that is flowing through the vehicles hot water system.

easiest way to tell where to connect the exchanger INLINE (if you are unable to follow the water path by looking etc) is to start the engine cold and then have someone open the heater valve so as to commence coolant flow into the cab heater..you should be able to feel the external temperature of the hoses change..the first one hot is flowing into the vehicles heater...put the heat exchanger INLINE to that hose and then connect your cold water flow in the opposite direction
