heater valve substitute

ddoyle · 09-05-2003

I am usin a heater control valve on my manta that came out of a mid 80's honda accord. It is cable operated, opens and closes the same and even has a control cable clip on it( the valve will work fine without cable secured in the clip). It has the same 90 degree bends as the original. The hose fittings are slightly smaller than orig. Very cheap and works great!

I wonder if it can be also used in a GT?

What year Accord was it for? (85?)

I searched thru parts books till I found a valve that looked and worked the same as the opel. Then I went to wrecking yard and found the valve, not sure of year. I was going to order a new one if it worked ok but the used one has worked great and no leaks.
I dont know what the GT valve looks like, the manta is 90 degrees and the cable pushes to open the valve.

Has anyone come up with more details on this valve or any other part number we can use to replace the original heater control valve?

OGTS does sell a valve which will work in a GT. I haven't tried it so I can't say how well it works.

Monday when I get back to the shop I will look up the info for the Honda valve and post the part number and applications.

Dan,

Did you ever find the part numbers for the heater valve you used?

Thanks
Paul

Paul, I have looked thru my current stock of parts books but have had no luck. I will keep looking. I am pretty sure that it was a mid eighties Honda.

Looking through available Heater Control Valves at the local Advance Auto Parts I didn't find anything that resembled a GT valve that fit a mid 80's Accord but the 86 Civic valve looks very similar in design.

Go to a truck shop and get one for a Kenworth. It'll be just what you need.
