MotoRad® Fail SafeTM Series Thermostat The temperature is 180°F. Fail-Safe Thermostats provide superior protection over any other thermostat on the market thanks to premium, patented technology. Only Fail-Safe is designed to lock in the open position when an overheating cooling system component fails. This allows for maximum coolant flow, preventing costly engine damage.
Fail-Safe is intended to help protect your engine when it overheats. When there is overheating, Fail-Safe automatically locks in the open position to allow maximum coolant flow.
When standard thermostats fail, they lock in the closed position and prevent coolant flow to the engine, potentially causing serious engine damage. Fail-Safe is protected against overheating damage by a patented safeguard.
Fail-Safe thermostats feature a one-of-a-kind extra stroke that enables operation in two stages:
Stage 1: At normal operating temperatures, the Fail-Safe works just like any other thermostat.
Stage 2: When a deteriorating cooling system part causes overheating, the Fail-Safe has a secondary stroke that activates a precision engineered piston that automatically locks the valve into a wide open position, allowing coolant to circulate freely.
Don't get stuck on the side of the road because your engine overheated and your conventional thermostat failed in the closed position, preventing coolant from flowing to the engine. The Fail-Safe Thermostat from Motorad is the best Thermostat on the market. Why is the Fail-Safe thermostat the best? Under normal operating conditions, the Fail-Safe functions similarly to a conventional thermostat. When your vehicle overheats due to a faulty cooling system component, a standard thermostat locks in the closed position, preventing coolant from flowing to the engine. Motorad's patented Fail-Safe Thermostat is the only thermostat that automatically locks in the open position during the overheating process, allowing coolant to circulate freely throughout the engine. This can save your engine from a more expensive repair.
You must replace the Fail-Safe thermostat once it has completed its function of allowing coolant to continue to flow to the engine during an overheating condition by locking in the open position. Standard thermostats exist alongside the Motorad Fail-Safe Thermostat. When you need a new thermostat, ask for MotoRad's Fail-Safe Thermostat.
