• If the parts supplied (adaptor and/or sleeves) are suitable, select an appropriate
location in a straight section of the hose then cut the radiator hose.
• Temporarily slide radiator hose clamps on each end of the hose. Fit both cut ends
of hose onto the In-line Adaptor (with or without sleeves as appropriate). If fitting
is tight, use silicon base grease or petroleum jelly to assist fitment of adaptor to
hoses.
• Refit top radiator hose, ensure no twisting of hose and tighten all clamps.
METHOD 2 - IN THERMOSTAT HOUSING OR RADIATOR
Please check wall thickness of thermostat housing/radiator as it is recommended that
the Thermal Sensor only be installed if there is a wall thickness of at least 3mm.
If the thickness is less than 3mm, please proceed with installation Method ‘1’.
We suggest removal of the thermostat housing before beginning the installation process
so that metal shavings do not enter the cooling system.
1. Mark location on thermostat
housing where sensor assembly is
to be fitted – “top of dome is
recommended”.
2. Drill an 11.0mm (7/16”) hole
through the marked area. For your
safety and to avoid drilling on an
angle, please ensure thermostat
housing is well secured before
beginning the drilling process.
3. Using a ¼” NPT tap, tap the hole
to allow the sensor assembly to
“just” protrude the thickness of the
thermostat housing. It is
recommended that the fitment of
the sensor assembly be checked
regularly to achieve the condition
in the diagram.
