Detailed Product Description

The Gates 33914 thermostat features a reverse poppet bottom-blocking by-pass design, which helps regulate coolant flow efficiently by allowing coolant to bypass the radiator when the engine is cold. This design aids in faster engine warm-up and prevents overheating. The thermostat opens at a temperature range of 75 to 77 degrees Celsius (167°F), maintaining optimal engine operating temperature. Its stainless steel and copper construction offers resistance to corrosion and wear, extending the service life of the component. The inclusion of a jiggle pin weep hole helps eliminate air pockets in the cooling system, improving overall coolant circulation and engine cooling efficiency.
