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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetailed Product Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Applications and Issues Addressed\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegulates engine temperature to prevent overheating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplaces faulty or leaking thermostat housings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestores proper coolant flow in Ford Escape, Fiesta, Fusion, and Transit Connect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEliminates coolant leaks caused by worn seals or gaskets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsures consistent engine warm-up and efficient cooling system operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsure engine is cool before beginning installation to avoid burns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse the included rubber gaskets to prevent leaks; do not reuse old seals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTorque bolts evenly across the four mounting holes to manufacturer specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck coolant levels and refill as necessary after installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVerify thermostat operation by monitoring engine temperature after installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Motorad Integrated Housing Thermostat 736-180 is manufactured to meet OEM standards for fit and function.
