I still need to make a bracket for the valve but it sits nestled in some towels nicely for the time being. No chafing.


edit: Oh, and by 'rapidly cools," I mean it goes down to a reasonably, not shockingly 150F-160F from the thermostat bypass flow.
Bump for @timurrrr. I still haven't made a bracket for the valve because it has turned out to be perfectly comfortable laying on the towel. I'll take a pic of that if you want.

If I had to do it again, I wouldn't change a thing. Click on the image for full size
