It will isolate the flowpath and bypass so circulation is maintained.

Default I mention because I was considering something like it...

.... before I installed aftermarket A/C and it came with it's own vacuum actuated isolation valve.

PS- allegedly I should have a coolant bypass for my vortec headed crate motor.... I've been ignoring that since I have a couple of vent holes drilled in my thermostat and haven't had a problem.

$600....ouch that hurts just thinking about it...


some of my air tools have an air restrictor valve before the tool, it looks like a mini ball valve with a nice knurled **** to adjust it. I wonder if that would work?
