Steve, looking back now, I can actually recall your thread on the aux heater and see that I had even commented on it. Thanks for referring me back to it. Really well documented
My biggest challenge will be getting access to the heater, without destroying the cabinets.

The problem is that the entire unit is sandwiched between the floor and the cabinet bottom. I'm encouraged by the fact that there's a metal grill in the cabinet's toe kick where someday heat will come out! ….. Someday.

Sounds like your's is really buried deep!

I'll go ahead and pass the heater on to the next guy, assuming I can even find it that is

It's all 5/8",except for a 12" 3/4" section between the intake manifold and the "Y" where it splits to the heater core (dash) and the rear hot water heater and aux heater under couch.

i would try to return the 3/4' and get the 5/8". you are asking for trouble and running a large risk that the 3/4" will pop off one of the fittings under pressure. "just saying" Regards, Bob

Good point, but it already shipped. I will double check my fittings and buy some 5/8 too!
