MotoRad 228-180JV

MotoRad 228-180JV is a 180°F / approx. 82°C bypass thermostat. It is used in cooling systems requiring this opening temperature and the correct bypass geometry.

Application / fitment

This thermostat should be selected primarily by opening temperature, flange diameter, bypass dimensions and thermostat housing configuration. Correct fitment requires matching opening temperature, flange diameter, bypass dimensions and thermostat housing configuration.

• Opening temperature: 180°F / approx. 82°C
• selected applications using a bypass thermostat with matching dimensions
• selected gasoline engines, including Ford and other applications, when the cooling-system layout matches

Before installation, compare the old thermostat with the new one: flange diameter, bypass length, total height, jiggle pin / bleed hole and seating method in the thermostat housing. On swapped engines or non-standard housings, thermostat geometry matters more than the vehicle make alone.
