Jayrad Radiator Cap Lever 16PSI 110KPA Stainless Top Brass RC2956

Overview

The Jayrad Radiator Cap Lever 16PSI 110KPA Stainless Top Brass RC2956 is a high-quality pressure relief cap designed for automotive and industrial cooling systems. Primarily used in vehicles, heavy machinery, and engines to maintain optimal coolant pressure, this cap prevents overheating by sealing the radiator and releasing excess pressure at 16PSI (110KPA). In operational contexts like high-temperature environments, it ensures efficient heat dissipation, enhancing engine performance and longevity. Built with durable materials, this cap meets industry standards for reliability, making it a trusted choice for mechanics and engineers alike.

Technical Specifications

This radiator cap features a 16PSI (110KPA) pressure rating, ideal for standard automotive applications. Constructed with a stainless steel top and brass body for corrosion resistance, it includes a lever mechanism for easy removal and installation. Engineering characteristics include a secure sealing gasket that withstands temperatures up to 120°C (248°F), with a standard thread size compatible with most radiator necks (e.g., 1.5-inch diameter). Operational parameters support flows up to 10 liters per minute, ensuring consistent performance in demanding conditions like off-road vehicles or industrial generators.

Safety & Compliance

Safety features include an integrated pressure release valve that vents excess pressure to prevent system explosions, along with a fail-safe design that avoids coolant loss. The cap is engineered to comply with SAE J164 standards for automotive components, and it meets ISO 9001 quality management requirements. These protections minimize risks in high-heat environments, providing peace of mind for users in industrial settings.

Installation & Maintenance

Installation requires a clean radiator neck and a torque of 15-20 ft-lbs to ensure a proper seal; use in temperatures between -40°C and 120°C for optimal performance. Recommended operating conditions include regular checks for coolant levels and pressure integrity. Maintenance involves inspecting the gasket every 6 months or 10,000 miles for wear, cleaning with mild solvent, and replacing if any leaks are detected to maintain efficiency.

Warranty & Support

The manufacturer offers a 1-year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. Service conditions include proper installation and maintenance as per guidelines. After-sales support includes access to technical assistance via email or phone, along with replacement parts availability through authorized dealers.
