if you mean the gasket between the thermostat housing and the hose connection bell yes you do but you should use a thermostat to keep the engine at constant operating temperature for which it was designed it will run more efficiently and last longer
No
An underfloor heating thermostat enables one to reach the perfect temperature in the house. It is also perfect for enabling the heating to turn on when the room temperature reaches low numbers.
I set the thermostat for 70 degrees.
Tools required: screw drivers, insulation tape - switch off your geaser, and plug out the power cable from the socket/power supply. Please also close the inlet water entry into your geaser. - remove the outer side of the geyser where the electrical connections are wired. This will need screwdrivers for most of the commercial geysers - Now you will see a big knob with temperature markings (usually 0 - 80 degree celsius) coming out of your geaser tank. - slowly track the electrical connections that is going into the thermostat and disconnect them (usually 2 of them) - Now pull the thermostat out - you will see a long rod coming out from the geaser. Now you are successful in pulling your thermostat out. - Now you want me to reverse-repeat the setps for plugging in the new thermostat in ? :-) - BTW...please note to set the temperature mark in the thermostat appropriately. Usually use the same as it was there in your older thermostat. - after plugging in the new thermostat, and you connect the electrical wiring, close the geyser (with whatever you removed) and open the inlet water entry. You need to plugin the power cable and switch it on again. Hope you find this useful, the new thermostat makes the geyser happy ! cheers, Harish
With duct tape I install and maintain duct work for a living if you want to seal the joints just wrap the tape around the duct. If you need to cover a hole you will need to screw a piece of metal on the duct over the hole and tape over the edges of your patch. this is the simplest and cheapest way I know to do it.
removed thermostat on 98 Bonneville and also removed rubber seal -- cannot get the old seal back into the housing.... help
It is under the housing where the lower hose attaches to the block. The new thermostat should have the seal with it, and that should be all you need.
Failed seal. Replace it.
If water is coming out around the thermostat housing, the seal or gasket is bad.
Replace the thermostat housing seal or gasket.
find where the upper radiator hose goes to the engine block. The thermostat is located below the housing. You will need to drain part of the antifreeze then remove the housing the thermostat can be popped out with a screw driver. be sure to clean the old seal completely before reassembly
thermostat first, then gasket then thermostat housing cover. I'm having trouble getting mine to seal properly. any help would be wonderful
The thermostat is located inside the radiator. Remove the radiator cap and pull the thermostat up. Remember to put the replacement thermostat in the same position push the new thermostat down in the radiator. The O-ring gasket will automatically seal.
If not tight enough to seal it will leak.
Drain the radiator into a container. Follow the top radiator hose to the engine. Remove the clamp and the bolts holding the thermostat housing. Remove the thermostat and seal. Clean both surfaces and install the new thermostat and seal. Reinstall the housing and top radiator hose. Top off with antifreeze.jd
To replace the thermostat on a 1995 Ford F250, the non-working thermostat must be removed. The radiator hose must first be removed, then the non-working thermostat unbolted from the intake manifold. The area needs to be cleaned of any old seals and debris. The new seal needs to be placed in on the intake manifold. The new thermostat is then placed on top of the new seal and secured. The radiator hose is then reattached.
No it should fit into the housing along with the thermostat. Try putting the rubber in first, then the thermostat. remember the rubber is malliable so it will conform to the opening, then insert the thermostat
