from vertical in any direction. See fig 2.5 below.
•
It is recommended that the valve is mounted vertically (+/-5°).
•
If the coolant valve is mounted in the reverse direction, 2 mm spacers must be
used between the mounting surface and the valve to prevent interference

•
The valve is supplied with quick connectors providing a push fit for hoses, however it is
acceptable for the OEM to source 5/8" SAEJ2044 connectors if required.
