 REPLACE YOUR OLD METAL HEATER CONTROL VALVE WITH SOMETHING BETTER

Dimensions: Valve 5" wide (inlet to outlet - end to end), Bracket 3 1/2"w  X 3 1/2"h x 2 1/8"deep.
.
VIRTUALLY A UNIVERSAL APPLICATION for any vehicle with a manual heater cable control valve -- metal or plastic.
.
IF YOUR HEATER CONTROL VALVE IS OBSOLETE,  UNAVAILABLE, OR UNRELIABLE:  
THIS IS YOUR ANSWER.
.

This Valve can also replace old vacuum operated valves by adding a heater cable mounted on or under the dashboard for manual operation. 

 European and other vehicles with block mounted heater control valves can be retrofited with this valve by blocking off or modifying old ports and routing through 'Y" hose configurations via waterpump or hose inlet/outlets. 

 

THIS MANUAL CABLE CONTROLLED VALVE HAS A  SMOOTH AND EASY OPERATION PULL AND RETURN.   Valve can be manually controlled to hold from fully closed through fully opened to get the level of heat you want. 

This Valve is a RETROFIT Replacement for metal original equipment valves ...

Zinc coated Steel Valves eventually will rust inside, and more quickly when your "Classic" is mostly garaged.  Replace that old metal heater control valve with this ABS Plastic/Nylon Valve.

 Some owners remove the malfunctioning heater control valve and have bypassed it entirely by hooking heater hoses directly to the heater core.   This risks damage to the core.

.

Here's what you are replacing

YIKES!  YOU DON'T WANT THIS!!  Corrosion! And it's tough to open and close these old metal valves.  (The lever on this one broke off trying to free it) This valve will probabably look familiar when you pull your heater hoses and check the condition. 

CORROSION CAN CAUSE 'EROSION'  Corrosion inside your valve means danger to your heater core, radiator, water pump, sensors and other parts of your cooling system.

 

 

RETROFIT TO OUR NEW HEATER CONTROL VALVE -- You will get these features:

> Valve: ABS Plastic Body & Nylon Internals manufactured by an Auto Industry OEM Manufacturer.  Little chance for Corrosion/Rust.

> Mounting Bracket: enables clearance of 1/2" of hoses and control cable from the firewall or fenderwell or an alternate positioning of the Valve with a 2 1/4" clearance to make additional room for wiring or solenoids on your vehicle for the hoses and cable.

> Mounting Bracket: 16 ga steel, powder coated paint (semi-gloss black) and rated at handling heat up to 400 Degrees without blistering.
.
Note: (Cable not included) USE YOUR CURRENT HEATER CONTROL CABLE OR A REPLACEMENT

=============================================================

EXCELLENT FOR MOST CLASSIC OLDER MODEL TRUCKS AND CARS .. as a direct retrofit upgrade to your present metal heater control valve.

+++++++++++++++++

A GOOD SUBSTITUTE FOR MOST OLDER CARS AND TRUCKS with metal heater valve that are manually operated with a solid wire control cable contained within a flex tube.

+++++++++++++++++

ALSO -- USE FOR ANY OTHER VEHICLES WITH HEATER CONTROL VALVE  OPERATED BY MANUALLY CONTROLLED CABLE.

+++++++++++++++++

VEHICLES WITH VACUUM CONTROL HEATER VALVE CAN ALSO BE RETROFITTED WITH THIS MANUAL VALVE

For those of you who are frustrated with poor performing vacuum controlled heater valves, we suggest purchasing a heater flex cable for manual valve control.  Then install the cable pull knob on your dash surface or mount a bracket right below the dash surface and run the cable through the firewall into the engine compartment to operate our Retrofit Valve.

+++++++++++++++++

VALVE MOUNTING BRACKET CAN BE INSTALLED ON FIREWALL OR INNER FENDER
