I need either a new heater control valve or a diaphragm, so I can repair mine ( I would prefer to repair).
It is a Ranco H-15 Heater Control Valve off my Traveler. I am doing with out it for now.
Are there any sites out there that sell repair parts??? It seems to be similar to Mopar and Studebaker's valves.

NAPA has a repair kit for these. Sorry I don't have the part number but likely NAPA can look up. Have fun...there's quite a few tabs to bend back and then rebend.
There's been some threads on this in the past and maybe the part number is there. I know I provided a repair service on a guy here in NC...he used to get $65 I think plus shipping.

I finally found the NAPA part # BK 6601000. I will pick it up this morning and see if it is correct. Thanks

Let us know how it works. I'm thinking of getting one too.

I purchased the part from NAPA and it works great. If you rebuilt it your self, be careful with the spring clip over the diaphragm, it is small and easily lost (which I did, even though I was careful, just not careful enough).
I was able to clean it up and reassembled it easily. You just need to be careful not to overwork the tabs so they don't break off.

I sent mine off to this fellow and he did a magnificent job. http://www.heatercontrolvalve.com/
Pricey but done professionally and I don't want drips inside the car.
-

-
$9.99 and it worked great, was the correct part for my valve.

I have a 53 Kaiser Deluxe Traveler. I don't know if it is the same one. Others, who are familiar with both would be able to tell you.
