Heat, in a Moose? That's an oxymoron I believe <grin>. I had the std ACS
outlet in the firewall. Pilot & co-pilot feet are "relatively" warm but the
back seat passengers freeze. Notice I said feet and that I didn't comment
about the rest of the body. For reference, I've flown numerous times in
weather down to perhaps zero F (back and forth to Iowa from Colorado).
I'm assuming you're using the M-14P? I don't think there's enough heat
coming off of the std exhaust heat cuff to adequately support more than one
heat vent. After all, it's not like there's an excess of heat coming out of
just my one vent, let alone 2 or more in some other design.
I think I heard of someone adding a second heat cuff on the L side exhaust
stack, but I can't be sure and I don't remember who. Without at least a 2nd
heat cuff, I think you're wasting time and money on the Y adapter. Spend
your money on blankets and a plug in aux heater (like you can purchase for
car cigarette adapters) for the rear passengers.

Subject: [rebel-builders] Moose cabin heat
What are Moose builders doing for cabin heat and keeping the back seats
warm? The standard cabin heat box from ACS has 2" outlets. I was thinking of
using two of these each with Y connectors giving a total of four inlets, 2
to the front and 2 to the rear. Is anyone routing hot air under the floor to
the back seats? Where have you positioned the air vents?
