TYC Radiator Product Line Details

The TYC Radiator product line focuses on delivering quality cooling components that meet or exceed OEM specifications. This line emphasizes durable aluminum cores and integrated transmission oil coolers where applicable, such as in part number 2896. The TYC Radiator series is designed to provide dependable thermal management solutions tailored to specific vehicle applications, including the Hyundai Accent.

Technical Description and Features

This radiator features a downflow flow configuration that promotes efficient coolant circulation through a single row of 63 tubes, each measuring 16 by 2 mm. The aluminum core ensures effective heat transfer, while the fin design—with 68 fins every 4 inches and a fin wave height of 0.31 inches—maximizes surface area for cooling. The integrated concentric transmission oil cooler uses tube fittings with 0.31-inch inlet and outlet diameters, allowing seamless transmission fluid cooling without the need for a separate cooler. Both inlet and outlet connections utilize hose clamps with a 1.30-inch diameter, ensuring compatibility with standard Hyundai Accent cooling system hoses. The top and bottom headers measure 1.96 by 25.96 inches, providing structural integrity and proper fitment within the engine bay.
