The Motorad 6116KT is built around a mechanical actuator, a disk valve, and an offset design with an air relief valve.

Key Features

• Standard replacement thermostat housing assembly for cooling system service
• OEM-quality materials and OE supplier manufacturing standards
• Copper case and wax compound for responsive temperature control
• Offset design with air relief valve and jiggle pin included where applicable
• Silver aluminum, stainless steel, and copper construction
• Requires a gasket or seal for installation

Detailed Description

Motorad 6116KT is designed for applications that require a thermostat housing assembly with OEM-style fit and temperature regulation characteristics. The housing uses a mechanical actuator and disk valve, with a start-to-open temperature of 187 degrees Fahrenheit, to help manage coolant flow as engine temperature changes. Its 2.02-inch inside diameter, 2-bolt mounting pattern, and standard replacement grade make it a practical service part for Ford cooling system maintenance. This part cross-references Motorad 6116KT for the same application.

For Ford Transit-150, Transit-250, Transit-350, Explorer, F-150, Police Interceptor Utility, Transit-350 HD, Expedition, Lobo, Transit, and Mustang fitments, the 6116KT provides a housing assembly built to OEM specifications and processes. The offset layout, bleeder hole, and OEM-style sealing approach where applicable support proper coolant routing and serviceability in the cooling system.

What It Helps Address

• Coolant temperature control issues
• Thermostat housing leaks at the sealing surface
• Delayed thermostat response during warm-up
• Cooling system service needs on worn housing assemblies
• Fitment replacement for damaged or corroded housing components

Installation Notes

Install with the required gasket or seal, since it is not included. Verify the mounting pattern, flange dimensions, and inside diameter against the original part before installation. The housing uses two mounting holes and a mechanical actuator layout, so clean mating surfaces and correct torque procedure are important for a proper seal.

Quality Assurance

Motorad manufactures this thermostat housing assembly with OEM-quality materials and safety standards as an OE supplier. The 6116KT is built to OEM specifications and processes for consistent cooling system service.
