The Intrepid Overland front heater valve is THE bomb-proof answer to cheap, short-lived replacement heater valves. This heavy-duty high-temp ball valve is mounted on a stiff frame and includes the heavy gauge control cable. As a full-port valve it can provide a higher heater flow volume for maximum heat when needed, and will close completely with no internal leakage, while the auxiliary bleed tube continuously purges the radiator so air can never accumulate and disrupt coolant flow.

This heater control valve and included cable install as direct replacements for the stock parts. The auto-bleed tube connects to the top radiator bleeder port (see warning below) with a low-profile banjo fitting.  It quickly purges the radiator of air after a coolant refill, and continually removes any bubbles that would otherwise accumulate there.

IMPORTANT FITMENT NOTE:  The bleeder tube banjo fitting will only fit stock radiators and replacement radiators that are exact copies of the stock unit which have an M8 x 1.25 threaded hex-head screw (usually brass) in the bleed port.

Some aftermarket replacements, such as Nissens, have a different shaped end tank, with a larger size bleed port threading, and a knurled plastic bleeder screw. The bleeder feature of this heater valve will not fit those replacement radiators. Please examine your radiator to be sure the end tank with the bleeder port looks like the one pictured above in the product gallery.  You will have to plug the bleeder tube of this heater if your radiator does not match stock configuration.

WE CANNOT RETURN THIS ITEM IF THE BLEEDER VALVE TUBE DOES NOT MATCH YOUR CONFIGURATION!
