Shoebox heater control valve
Has anyone had any luck rebuilding the heater control valve(magic air heater)
I know shoebox central lists a rebuild service for them but I’m up in Canada so it complicates that a bit |

Re: Shoebox heater control valve
I hear there are those that have done it, but the process seems rather tedious, just bending the tabs that hold it together without breaking them is an example. I had my control valve rebuilt by Shoebox Central and in talking to them I learned they have a fixture and special tool(s). They did an awesome job.
