It measures 6.3 x 4.3 x 4.3 inches and weighs just 5.8 ounces, making it compact yet robust. The inlet connection is a 4.3‑inch compression fitting, while the outlet utilizes a standard NPT thread, providing a secure seal and easy integration with existing vacuum lines. Certified by GM and manufactured to OEM specifications, this valve delivers the exact flow characteristics required for optimal vapor‑canister operation.
Usage
This valve is intended for use in a range of GM models, specifically Chevrolet HHR (2006‑2011), Pontiac Solstice (2006‑2009) and Saturn Sky (2007‑2010). It is ideal for owners seeking to replace a failed or leaking original valve, as well as for mechanics performing routine emission‑system service. Installation is straightforward: connect the 4.3‑inch compression inlet to the vacuum line, secure the NPT outlet to the vapor canister, and verify the system’s vacuum pressure. The valve functions in both cold‑start and normal‑operating conditions, helping to maintain compliance with emission regulations and ensuring smooth engine performance.
