can i cut the hose after 13 on the diagram and attach it to the waterpump thereby eliminating the valve and those seals? what does the valve thing do?

You can cut it [15]right near the 'restrictor' and then Dremel etc the swaged 'clamps' off on the bench, then use regular hose clamps to reassemble..
Also 3/4 heater hose will replace that little elbow[12]just as well..
Doubt anyone really knows but I suspect the restrictor is to make the heat work better[ slow the coolant flow some]

Mine broke when I had to replace the hose.
I just put a fitting in there.
Well now I know what that valve is for.
Thanks,
