If the hose coming from the intake is hot going into the heater and the hose going to the radiator is cooler, your core may be clogged. Take a garden hose and adapt it to it and flush it out from both connections.
Yes...both heater hoses are very hot when idling (and for that matter at high RPMs as well).

There is no inline valve of any type...straight hose.
