OT cast iron heating radiator question

Posted by rhudson on February 03, 2004 at 22:40:19 from (65.254.160.50):

i'm trying to use an old cast iron steam/water heating radiator to cool an old stationary engine. i want to use thermosiphoning instead of a water pump. to do this i need an upper water inlet and lower water outlet in the radiator. now the question, the fitting at the top of the radiator that looks like a pipe plug, is it a pipe plug or is it a nut that is holding the radiator sections together? i was getting ready to heat up the fittng today to try to remove it to gain access to an upper water path when i was informed (by a usually reliable source) that it was not a port but a mechanical fastner. Thanks for any information or ideas.
