Coolant gate valve needed to shutoff cockpit heater

Some pics of my cabin heat/ Valve plumbing..I can reach shut off under panel, but leave it off for summer, and on for winter mostly.. Changing engine mount currently, plus not to much snow this winter, hence no ski flying

Where did you get those black valves?

I bought ones like in that Summit link and I don't think I like them. They are really heavy and take a lot of revolutions to open and close.

I bought a heater control valve from the parts store. It was for a mid 70's Dodge pickup. It is plastic, 1/4 turn ball valve that I control by attaching a choke cable from the panel to the valve. Works great.

The one in my pics came from Volvo const. equipment Loader, I have had them so long, and knew one day it would come in handy. I work on heavy equipment, The part number was not clear on package, but I will try and obtain it. There will be a Volvo equipment dealer near you. I think it might be L.B Smith possibly, anyway, hand operated, rugged, simple..1/4 turn from full on to full off.
