And the winner for the understament of the year award goes to Hans E. Hansen of Oregon for the phrase, "Apparently, many don't seal well........"

thanks Hans!
so technically if the control valve is closed...then nothing will flow through the heater cores and back through the return line...hmm? I doing all the main hoses and wondering if I should just wait till the end of the summer to fix the long heater hose...hmmm?

The water valve controlling the heater temp *should* completely shut off the water when set to the full cold position.

just a quick question...I am planning to change this one (push-pull) and was courious as to whether there is a consistant flow through the heater hoses even when the heat if off...or does it only flow when the heater valve is opened. any thoughts?
