what are folks using to introduce inhibitor to a system
 
Either pour it in through the magnaclean if installed
or ive got one of them cal shot squeezers
 
Have fitted dosing pots on light commercial stuff.

For systems that I have installed, I've put a full bore lever valve with short bit of pipe and cap on cyl return. Doubles as full bore drain off and remove nut, connect filling loop hose and use the chemicals with silicone gun.

Also used rigged up pressure sprayer to pump in OV. Scoop some water from F&E, add chemicals and pump away.
 
I have a bottle cap from an inhibitor bottle that I drilled a hole through to fit a half inch tank connector through. The thread of the tank connector spigot is on the outside of the bottle lid then I have an old flexi with the tap connector end screwed on to the tank connector thread. At the other end of the flexi I have removed the compression nut and olive so I can just wind the thread it in to a rad with the air bleed or blanking plug removed.
 
Only thing with Magnaclean, you gotta take ALL water out to get a bottle of F1 in it. Drain valve at the bottom would be ideal.

The ones with the red labels def don't have a drain valve. The ones TB posted look new though ?

I say new, prob been out ages, just haven't fitted any, or seen one.

Next time u remove 440 keep the internal tundish and mount a pf 1/2 pf elbow then small 1/2 stud into rad. Pf is so stud will rotate without need to rotate tundish. Have a rust buster but almost always fit a mag even if it's a micro.
 
it is. I have made one like this also. just drop the pressure, pump, open up valve and pull the trigger. Done in a jiffy
 
I just use a half inch-22mm iron, then speedfit street elbow into 35mm reducer 'funnel'. I'm to stingy to use the concentrated inhibitors.

With the Magnacleans, watch out if you get the new mini one, the canister holds hardly anything.
