    Is it ok to braze a bronze ell to the outlet of the heat exchanger on a 450c to change the direction of the hose on a repower, or would it be better to use a silicone ell with hose clamps?

    Thank you

    Tony

    Modified Heat Exchanger Outlets

    Here are some examples… Use silicon bronze tig welding on the the cast outlets. We also have saddles you can soft solder (95-5) Ā after proper fitting and cleaning… see the pictures
