New Lev-R-Safe Radiator Caps

7 Jan, 2015

A new addition to the CooDrive range, Lev-R-Safe pressure relief safety radiator caps, designed with a robust metal lever and tab that aids the prevention
of cap removal without first lifting the steel lever, thus releasing cooling system pressure aiding the prevention of scalding during removal. (Caution should be observed and do not remove when hot).

A recovery cap design with double seal, the Lev-R-Safe caps are constructed to be utilized within performance or harsh conditions associated with 4WD, Mining, Earthmoving, Power Generation and Offshore applications.

A robust design constructed using metal lever and tab, AISI 430 stainless steel body, stainless steel name plate and brass shaft.

For more information about these radiator caps, read New Product Bulletin 31.

Testing Caps

Radiator caps should be tested or replaced during scheduled cooling system maintenance, whereby the cap is tested for nominated pressure rating by
way of radiator and radiator cap tester. In addition caps should be visually inspected for gasket cracking or deterioration.

When testing new caps there is an allowable +/- 1-2 PSI tolerance as a result of the new gasket seal. For testing, wet the gasket surface before connection to the cap adaptor or pump. Test by exceeding the nominated pressure, in turn the pressure should reduce and settle around the nominated pressure rating on the cap.

Caps should be removed and re-applied several times as a result of the new gasket sealing area to avoid rejecting caps that are otherwise satisfactory based
on the allowable tolerance.
