Product Details

• Replacement needs for worn OE-style heater valves

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the cable-operated valve layout, hose connection size, and non-bypass configuration before installation. Match the opening size and hose routing to the original valve on the vehicle. Confirm fitment by model year, since the 1992 Toyota Corolla application applies only from 9/92. This part is listed for 1993-2002 Toyota Corolla and 1993-1997 Geo Prizm heater valve applications.
