This design supports efficient heat transfer while maintaining compatibility with original equipment manufacturer (OEM) style fittings, such as the quick-connect inlet featured on part number 3812. The single-row core configuration is suitable for applications requiring moderate cooling capacity, like the Ford Escape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description and Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe CSF 3812 radiator is engineered with a 7\/8 inch thick aluminum core measuring 17 11\/16 inches wide and 26 1\/2 inches long. Its cross flow design allows coolant to move horizontally through the core, enhancing heat exchange efficiency. The plastic tanks reduce weight and resist corrosion, while the 1 1\/2 inch inlet and outlet diameters (right inlet, left outlet) ensure proper fitment and fluid flow. This radiator does not include a cap and weighs approximately 10 pounds, with packaging dimensions designed for safe transport.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Applications and Issues Addressed\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement for leaking or damaged radiators in Ford Escape vehicles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResolves overheating caused by inefficient or clogged radiator cores\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddresses coolant flow restrictions due to faulty inlet\/outlet connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproves engine temperature regulation in cross flow cooling systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for restoring OEM cooling system performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen installing the CSF 3812 radiator, ensure compatibility with your Ford Escape model year and engine configuration. The radiator features OEM style quick-connect inlets for straightforward hose attachment. Verify that the inlet and outlet diameters match your vehicle’s hoses (1 1\/2 inch). Since the radiator does not include a cap, reuse the existing cap or purchase a compatible replacement. Properly bleed the cooling system after installation to avoid air pockets and ensure optimal performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCSF radiators are manufactured to meet OEM specifications, using corrosion-resistant aluminum cores and durable plastic tanks.
