Details on the 3 Row All Metal Product Line

The CSF 3 Row All Metal line focuses on heavy-duty radiators built entirely from metal components, including copper cores and brass tanks. This design enhances durability and heat transfer efficiency compared to plastic or mixed-material radiators. The 3-row core configuration increases the surface area for coolant flow, making it suitable for vehicles that demand higher cooling performance, such as trucks and SUVs.

Technical Specifications and Features

This radiator features a down flow core type with three rows, measuring 1 11/16 inches thick, 21 5/8 inches wide, and 23 1/4 inches long. The copper core material provides excellent thermal conductivity, while the brass tanks offer resistance to corrosion and mechanical stress. The inlet and outlet ports are both 1 1/2 inches in diameter, located on the left and right sides respectively, facilitating straightforward hose connections. Additionally, the integrated oil cooler is a high-efficiency concentric type, measuring 14 3/8 inches, which supports engine oil temperature regulation.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replaces worn or leaking radiators in vehicles requiring a 3-row all-metal design
• Addresses overheating issues caused by insufficient cooling capacity
• Suitable for vehicles with heater pipe and sensor port requirements
• Improves cooling system durability in heavy-duty or high-load conditions
• Compatible with vehicles needing a down flow radiator configuration

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure compatibility with your vehicle’s cooling system by verifying inlet and outlet positions and diameters. The down flow design requires proper orientation during installation. This radiator does not include a cap, so use the appropriate CSF cap number 4503 or equivalent. Check for heater pipe and sensor port connections to maintain system functionality.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

CSF radiators are manufactured to meet industry standards for durability and performance. The all-metal construction reduces the risk of leaks and corrosion over time. While specific warranty details for part number 3243 are not provided here, CSF typically offers coverage against manufacturing defects.
