Bus heater core removed how to bypass

I removed the entire heating system that also had an A/C evaporator (which was strange since the bus didn't have A/C). I had the heater core tested, then mounted it length wise under the cabinets in the hallway with 2-14" elec radiator fans pushing the heat just straight out into the hallway. I also have a ball valve after a T to shut off the big heater core, but still allow the driver's defroster to work. Right behind the driver's seat is the thermostatically controlled on/off. So when I'm in cold, I simply turn on the ball valve, then adjust the thermostat. It is so powerful, that when it comes on, even without ducting, you count to 10 and can feel the heat up in the driver's seat. I still have the booster pump, but have never had to use it-get plenty of heat without it. Good Luck, TomC

do Webasto's come with noise canceling headphones...

A Webasto sitting in a bay is very noisy--  however, if you buy a Scholastic series it comes in a box (option) that can be easily lined with sound dampening material.  That is what I bought and did and it is very quiet.

Thanks to your help we found the caps and soldered them on. No leaks there when we tested but found out the drivers heater core has a split in one of the tubes at the end....oh joy. Took us the better part of an afternoon to remove it. Will take it to a radiator repair shop tomorrow and hopefully they can fix it :/

Hmmm. Looks like someone let it freeze. Good luck. Chances are very good there may be more damage you have not yet seen.

In the heater core? If so they'll find them. The rest of the system has been replaced...new radiators new tubes new hoses and when I pressure tested the system there are no leaks anywhere else. So the heater core appears to be the only casualty.
