Just found more pro's and con's as I was considering mounting this unit.
Pro's
A regular 3/4" brass quarter turn valve that can be purchased at lowes will work.
Quick valve has a 3/4 fumoto valve that would also work if you have a clearance issue.

Con's
The brilliant minds at IPR spent so much time and money inventing the thing they didn't have anything left to throw at mounting options, they recommend an upside down mount above the vacuum pump. I disagree, turning it upside down may or may not create an air bubble in what would be the bottom, but even if there is no air bubble then the magnet to catch any metal material would be at the top and unable to catch some of the material that would normally settle in the bottom anyway. Not to mention the coolant contents emptying out on your vacuum pump and fender well every time you remove it.

With some further thought put into it I'm thinking about mounting mine where it can be right side up, to do this I think it will either be mounted below the passenger side headlight behind the bumper or passenger side frame rail across from fuel filter. If anyone has any further suggestions then I would certainly love to hear them.

I looked at that setup also and wondered why it is suggested to mount it with the filter up. I do like the idea of the washable filter, maybe someone will come up with that option for the other kits. Good luck with finding a new mounting position, keep us in the loop.
