Product Details

Stant Integrated Thermostat Housing 48672 is engineered as a water outlet thermostat housing with the thermostat built into the housing assembly. That design reduces the number of separate components involved in the repair and supports a cleaner replacement on cooling systems that call for the OE 208-degree thermostat specification. It is listed for a wide range of Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, and Mazda models, including Ford Escape, Ford Fusion, Ford Focus, Ford Ranger, Mercury Mariner, and Mazda B2300 applications.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Cooling System Issues

• Engine running cooler or warmer than the OE thermostat specification
• Leaking or worn thermostat housing at the water outlet
• Cooling system service on vehicles with an integrated thermostat design
• Sensor-related replacement needs on supported applications
• Fitment-specific replacement for Ford Escape, Ford Fusion, and Ford Ranger cooling repairs

Installation Notes

Verify the OE temperature requirement and match the vehicle application before installation. Confirm seal condition and sensor-related fitment details for the listed model year range. Clean the mating surfaces thoroughly before installing the housing to help ensure proper sealing and cooling system performance.

Quality Assurance

Stant manufactures this thermostat housing assembly with durable materials and an OE temperature specification for the listed applications. The integrated design is intended to support straightforward replacement service on compatible Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, and Mazda cooling systems.
