Featuring an integrated housing design, this thermostat simplifies installation and reduces potential leak points compared to separate thermostat and housing assemblies. The thermostat opens at 180°F (82°C), allowing coolant to circulate once the engine reaches optimal temperature. It includes a jiggle pin weep hole that helps release trapped air, preventing overheating and ensuring consistent coolant flow. The unit is secured with two bolt holes and includes one seal to maintain a tight fit. With outlet inside diameters of 0.489 and 1.4 inches and an outside diameter of 0.748 inches, it is designed to fit precisely within the cooling system of Cadillac CTS, SRX, and STS models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Integrated Housing Thermostat Product Line\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Gates Integrated Housing Thermostat line combines the thermostat and housing into a single component, reducing installation complexity and improving reliability.
