Grad-U-Stat Question

[Godzilla]

I am recovering the floor in my 04 and found this grad u stat thing under the couch. My manual states it is some kind of climate control system.  I removed it, but am left with two air lines. My question is are these air lines from the compressor and therefor have to be capped or can I just banish the ugly mess into the belly of the beast?

I am likely completely wrong on this, but I'm sitting here with nothing to do.  Was this actually underneath the wood floor? Mounted to the frame? Mine was. Unfortunately, the two lines I was 100% sure were going to it and I cut them...were air lines. Had to have someone solder and seal those babies. Just food for thought. Maybe I'm confused about what you're looking at.

Gradustat was the heating control for the body heat.

An air controlled valve in the coolant lines heading from the heat exchanger. Modulated the flow of hot coolant to maintain the set temp in the coach.

Yes, you must terminate those properly, both the air and the coolant lines, or trace to their source and terminate them there and remove or abandon the left overs.

happy coaching!
