About the Integrated Housing Thermostat Product Line

The Motorad Integrated Housing Thermostat line combines the thermostat and housing into a single assembly, simplifying installation and improving reliability. This design reduces potential leak points by integrating the thermostat directly within the metal housing, which is engineered to withstand engine heat and pressure. The 736-180 part number represents this integrated approach, providing a precise 180°F opening temperature suitable for maintaining consistent engine coolant flow in compatible Ford vehicles.

Detailed Product Description

This engine coolant thermostat housing assembly is crafted from metal with a silver finish, ensuring durability and corrosion resistance. The flange measures 4.22 inches in both length and width, with a thickness of 0.33 inches, providing a secure mounting surface. It includes two rubber gaskets to create a tight seal and prevent coolant leaks. The assembly features four bolt holes for mounting, though bolts and other hardware are not included. The thermostat integrated within the housing opens at 180 degrees Fahrenheit, allowing coolant to circulate once the engine reaches optimal operating temperature. Three outlet ports with varying diameters accommodate different coolant flow paths, making it suitable for specific Ford models such as the Escape, Fiesta, Fusion, and Transit Connect.
