Hi Scott,
 
I have a valve in one of my coolant lines to my heater core.  It does an effective job of keeping the hot coolant circulating through the core - however, it does not perform the one function I had wanted and that was shutting off the coolant in case of a leak.  You would need a valve in both lines (duh!)  to the core - at least that is the way it appears to me.

Any thoughts on a simple cable actuated valve( 5/8" ) for the inbound hose to a heater core?  I have thought about not routing air through the heater core when I don't want heat, then have the flapper route the air through it when I do want heat.  But, with the temps hitting 90F+ in N. Carolina I am reminded that it might be best to not have any extra heat in the cabin in the summer...

Thx...
-Scott
