Hi, Jim. I've been running the regular, not-expensive thermostat for about 15
years. At first I used the copper pipe end cap (ISTR it was 3/4 inch) with a
hole drilled in the middle inserted into the bypass hose. When I replaced the
hose after some years, I forgot to do that and frankly didn't notice any
difference.
