Hi,
I have a fairly severe case of my front heater valve leaking hot water by and constantly heating my wife and I up... at 30C it's kind of sub-optional! lol. I want to do a "quick fix" and put a ball valve in the heater hose. I've heard you can do that behind the glove box. What is the internal diameter of the heater hose? What kind of valve would I need? Something that would take hose clamps. I live in a small town and the local hardware store didn't have anything suitable. Either solder on (copper plumbing) or PEX crimp on. Any pointers are appreciated. Thanks, Steve Williams |
