Product Details and Specifications

This HVAC heater core features a core height of 7.25 inches, width of 6 inches, and a depth of 1.875 inches, providing optimal heat exchange capacity. The aluminum core material resists corrosion and maintains structural integrity under high-temperature conditions.

  • Prevents coolant contamination inside the HVAC system

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the vehicle is cooled down before beginning heater core replacement to avoid burns from hot coolant. Drain the cooling system and carefully disconnect heater hoses matching the 0.625-inch tube size. Since pipe positioning is non-adjustable, verify alignment with factory mounting points for a proper fit. Inspect surrounding HVAC components for wear or damage during installation to maintain system integrity.
