I’ve got a question that may be stupid but for the life of me, I can’t understand why I can’t do this…

I received my heater from Moto Alliance. Got everything installed except routing of the heater hoses.

The instructions say to run the hose from the water pump all the way up front to the heater inlet (outlet, I don’t remember off the top of my head) and then run the opposite line directly to the radiator.

So here’s my question… what difference does it make where I "T" the line into? Why do I have to go all the way back to the water pump? It seems to me that if I "T" it into the hoses on either side of the radiator, it should work the same? No?

Can someone that did the install tell me why I have to go all the way back to the water pump?

Unfortunately, it’s Saturday and Moto is closed.

Thanks,

Mark
