Detailed Product Description
The Four Seasons Heater Valve 74628 belongs to the Heater Valve product line, which focuses on temperature control components for vehicle HVAC systems. This particular valve operates via a cable mechanism, allowing for smooth and responsive control of heater core coolant flow.

Made from plastic, the valve features two hose connectors with openings measuring 0.625 inches (15.875 mm), matching original equipment specifications. This ensures compatibility and ease of installation in Ford E-100 Econoline, Econoline, F-100, F-250, and F-350 trucks.
