Vintage Air Heater Control Valve mounting

[BANKO]

Hey guys, I'm in the midst of a Vintage Air install in the Chevelle. I'd like to know if this needs to be mounted rigidly instead of just hanging off of the heater hose. Also how much isolation is needed so this valve doesn't melt other heater hoses or A/C lines? Does it need to be mounted in a convienent location for service or just wiring?

Thanks!

Yes to all but it doesn't get hot enough to melt anything. I made a bracket and mounted it to the inner fender well. In your case radiator support or fender shelf should do.
