I pulled it from my bus last week. I apologize, but I never confirmed its working status. You are welcome to have it, however, if you are willing to trust a stranger on the internet.

That'd be great! Could you measure the inlet and outlet? I'd have to double check but I believe mine has a 3/4" inlet and a 1" outlet. Not sure if it matters, if its smaller I guess it just reduces the flow a little. When I get home from work I'll have a look and see if it would work on my bus. Mine inlet is 90 degrees to the outlet but I'm guessing I should be able to move the hoses around a little to make it work. Thanks.

most of them are 1" in and 1" out.. and most of the heater lines on the bus are 1". whats interesting though is 90" of the heater valves ive seen are 3/4".. as are the hard pipes that come from the engine.. so you likely wont reudce flow too much if one part is 3/4" since other parts of the system supply seem to be as well.

Ya I just bent it around to hook up to the outlet of the pump so i don't get dirt and debris in the lines while I work on it. That kinked hose is the return from the bus interior, it straightens out.

Good to know most are 1" in and out. Haven't gotten around to actually getting the pump out yet, the inlet is hard pipe and looks to be a bit of a pain, project for this weekend. The outlet is definitely 1".

On a side note, does anyone know where to get reasonably priced 1" heater hose? The stuff I took out of my bus is full of splices, I would like to replace it with a single run to the front to minimize the opportunity for leaks inside the bus.

I was looking the other night. Plan on taking at least one heater out and wanted to run a straight run from one to the other.

If the offer still stands it looks like I'd be able to route my hoses to make it work. Would you happen to have the mount still? Looks like it mounts different than mine.

Of course the offer still stands. In answer to your previous question, the outer diameter looks to be 1". Inner is ¾". I am pretty sure the mount is long gone, though. I will try to check tomorrow.

Ok cool thanks. If you can't find the mount I'm sure I can rig something up.
