I'm glad I live on a CDN/U.S border.

5/8" Hose Barb Y Type 3 Way Brass Cut-Off Ball Valve 2 Switch with Clamps | eBay

I'm considering these valves.

Ok gang, thanks for your input, appreciate it.

Any reason this wouldn't work? Redirect hose from thermostat to the heater and run the return back to the water pump. I 'll add shut offs to bypass the heater in the summer and run the coolant from the thermostat directly back to the water pump.

You're welcome. I would have taken it out to size it but I don't have any idea what it does and didn't want to create a problem for myself.

I don't know the size but any dealer should be able to ID it from an ipl .

My 2370 has a bolt there, what do you need to know?

I might fabricate one. One piece of copper pipe, three valves, two T's and four barb fittings.

Good option, thank you!

Thanks for the ideas. Something like this little beauty would work.

What was the purpose for installing valves if the system had to have flow at all times?

The only issue is, I wouldn't be able to shut the heat off to the cab so the hoses would have to be disconnected in the Spring as you pointed out. I could install shut off valves in order to retain the fluid to the heater. Thanks for your input, much appreciated.

This is my thermostat housing. I think I can use the water pump and thermostat connections as you did DR.

DR; Thanks for taking the time and making the effort to post the pictures. The hose at the thermostat housing is what I had planned to use but I'll have to look at the lower hose below the thermostat housing , not sure what I have but I'll take a look and report back. I have some trees to deal...
