• Service replacement for a worn outlet during thermostat-area repairs
• Restoration of proper coolant routing in supported Chevrolet, GMC, and Buick models

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the inlet diameter, bolt-hole spacing, and outlet style before installation. Because the gasket or seal is not included, reuse only if serviceable or replace with the correct sealing component for the application. Inspect mating surfaces, coolant hoses, and nearby thermostat components for wear before reassembly. Verify VIN-specific fitment on 2016-2021 Buick Encore applications.
