Smiths heater valve

[THE 109]

Hey guys,

I'm fitting a round smiths heater to my 2A and need a valve to control the coolant flow.What was originally fitted to do this?
The heater has 1/2" hose ends poking through the firewall.
Some pics would be great.

Cheers Eric

Check out Car Builder Solutions - NF Auto. One-stop Shop for Parts, Tools and Accessories for the Car Builder. Neil and Matt Foreman.. There'll be something in there that fits.

Any decent parts shop will have a catalogue of after market heater valves.

try Four Wheel Drives

they have a pretty good catalog available for download. They may have one in there

The original stood a couple of inches high on the head, with a screw down control on top, side outlet. No remote operation.

Mine is like that but was pointing towards the firewall. It had a nasty right-angled hose attached that was impossible to remove.

You can also mount it at the front of the head, which is where mine is. Mine has a broad flat lever handle instead of a wheel

If you find out what the thread is in the head - probably 1/2" BSP - you can check out the taps in the plumbing section of a hardware store.

I found one for my S1, which is the wheel type, for $12

This might help as there is no original remote operated valve.
