Motorad 7216-192 Engine Coolant Thermostat

Motorad Fail-Safe Thermostat for Volvo Cooling Systems

The Motorad Fail-Safe Engine Coolant Thermostat, part number 7216-192, is built for Volvo cooling system service where OE temperature control matters. It opens at 192°F and uses a copper case with wax compound for quick reaction to coolant temperature changes.

Motorad’s Fail-Safe line is engineered to lock open if overheating occurs, helping maintain coolant flow in critical conditions. This makes the 7216-192 a direct-fit thermostat choice for select Volvo 240, 740, 760, 780, 745, 940, DL, and GLE applications.
