Which way does the thermostat go in? The shorter end (Arrow B) of the thermostat always points toward the radiator
Radiator
Radiators are heat exchangers used for cooling internal combustion engines, mainly in automobiles but also in piston-engined aircraft, railway locomotives, motorcycles, stationary generating plant or any similar use of such an engine.
Which way does the thermostat go in a car?
Which way does a thermostat go in? The shorter end of the thermostat is always pointed away from the engine but the deep end of the thermostat is put into the engine and the jiggle valve on the thermostat should face the radiator when installed. The thermostat should be placed correctly or it may affect the whole coolant system.
Where is the thermostat located on a Toyota Corolla?
The thermostat is mostly positioned around the meeting point of the hose and radiator or sometimes near the water pump on the cylinder head. The housing is immediately attached to the top radiator hose once the thermostat is installed under the housing as this radiator line helps coolant to prevent overheating and maintain an optimal temperature.
What happens if you install a thermostat in the wrong way?
This is a trick that if you remember it you will never install a thermostat in the wrong way, and you’ll always be able to bleed the cooling system easily. The shorter end (Arrow B) of the thermostat always points toward the radiator hose, and away from the engine.
What does the spring valve do on a thermostat?
This little temperature-sensitive spring valve stays closed during engine warm-up as the thermostat prevents coolant from leaving the engine and circulating through the radiator until it reaches the correct temperature. The hose should be fitted into the short end, while the engine should be inserted into the deep end.
