Anyone know where to find this vacuum mechanical valve?

[Brian Ong]

Hi,

Any one know what's about this part and the part description/part number/where to buy(internet site), I've tried to find it at eBay and other site but couldn't find the exact part, this part was connected between the radiator hose to the car internal heater(one circular loop), look like a vacuum valve that actuated by the engine vacuum generated, much much appreciated your help on this, need replacement since the joint has badly corroded and beyond repair.

Hi Brian...what year Wrangler, what size engine and does it have factory air conditioning?

Looks like your basic heater control valve. I assume you have tried the numerous auto parts outfits on line like rock auto or Napa?

Kind of interesting...I don't have one on my '90 4.2...the engine is bone stock...have you seen one before Gilaguy?

Cant recall seeing the like on any of the Jeeps Ive owned. I think its maybe a custom install or for an entirely different vehicle he has.

Don't have one on my '91 either.

Sounds like it's probably unneeded. Just buy a longer hose, or a splice and bypass it
