About the 1 Row Plastic Tank Aluminum Core Product Line

The CSF 1 Row Plastic Tank Aluminum Core product line combines OEM-style plastic tanks with a robust aluminum core to balance durability and weight. This design supports effective cooling while maintaining compatibility with original equipment specifications. The single-row core thickness and dimensions are engineered to meet the cooling demands of vehicles like the Kia Sedona without compromising fitment or performance.

Detailed Product Description

This radiator (part number 3492) features a 5/8 inch thick aluminum core measuring 30 5/8 inches wide and 17 5/16 inches long, providing a solid surface area for heat exchange. The plastic tanks reduce overall weight and resist corrosion, while the down flow design ensures coolant flows efficiently from the inlet to the outlet, both located on the left side with a diameter of 1 3/8 inches. The integrated high-efficiency plate type oil cooler (14 9/16 inches) enhances engine oil temperature regulation, contributing to overall engine reliability. The radiator is designed without a cap, compatible with CSF cap number 4503 for proper sealing and pressure control.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

• Replacement for leaking or damaged Kia Sedona radiators
• Resolves overheating caused by inefficient cooling cores
• Addresses coolant flow restrictions in down flow radiator systems
• Improves engine oil cooling with integrated oil cooler
• Prevents corrosion and tank failure with plastic tank construction

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure compatibility with Kia Sedona models before installation. Verify inlet and outlet positions and diameters match existing radiator hoses. Use the appropriate CSF radiator cap (part number 4503) to maintain system pressure. Inspect mounting points and cooling fan clearance during installation to avoid interference. Properly bleed the cooling system after installation to prevent air pockets.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

CSF radiators are manufactured to meet OEM specifications, combining aluminum cores with plastic tanks for durability and corrosion resistance. This radiator is free of hazardous materials and designed for long-term service. Warranty details should be confirmed with the distributor or manufacturer, as they may vary by region.
