Detailed Description

Motorad Standard part number 248-192 is an engine coolant thermostat manufactured to OEM specifications and processes by an OE supplier. The 192°F opening temperature matches OE-specified applications and helps maintain stable coolant flow as engine temperature rises. Its copper case and wax compound support fast reaction to temperature changes, while the offset design and air relief valve, where applicable, help the thermostat integrate with the original cooling system layout. This part cross-references Anchor 3649 and SKF 15649 for the same application.
