Product Details

The Gates 31518 is a safety release radiator cap designed to maintain optimal cooling system pressure and temperature in automotive applications. This vented cap features a 16 PSI pressure rating and can be used with both open and closed cooling systems, providing versatility for a wide range of vehicles.

Key Features:

  • Safety release lever protects against accidental burns by releasing steam through the overflow tube
  • Constructed of corrosion-resistant, heavy-gauge metal for long service life and accurate pressure control
  • 16 PSI pressure rating (SAE range 14-18 PSI)
  • No adjustment required for installation - exact OE-replacement design
  • Compatible with or without coolant recovery systems

Specifications:

  • Shell diameter: 2.61 inches
  • Cap depth: 1.5 inches
  • Filler neck outside diameter: 2.13 inches
  • Filler neck inside diameter: 1.61 inches
  • Filler neck depth: 0.75 inches
  • Cap finish: Stainless steel

This radiator cap ensures your engine's cooling system operates efficiently by maintaining proper pressure levels, which raises the boiling point of coolant and prevents overheating. The safety release mechanism allows for safe pressure relief when removing the cap from a hot radiator.

Great price and free shipping. When I made my purchase it was stated item in stock and most orders received in 2 days. My time from purchase to receiving my item was 7 days. Over all good deal though!

I bought a tire for my truck,and now I'm ordering these wheel locks.I really find your site very easy to order from,and like your prices and turn around time

First experience with Autoplicity.com was great. After waiting for 3 months on backorder for the rackcompetition to not be able to fill my order I found Autoplicity. They had my tire size/brand in stock, ready to ship, and at a better price. A++++

easy

They had the lowest price and great communication. Will order from them again thanks

For as cheap as what I paid for my product I will admit I was scared!!! Got what I asked for in perfect condition, came fast and wonder where have you been all my shopping life? Thanx for such a great deal and fast shipping!!!

I looked around for the best peice for a set of Sparco seats. I found them on autoplicity much cheaper then anywhere else. I figured it would take a few days to ship, but by the time i decided to call for a tracking #, I got an email with tracking # and that my seat was all ready to be delivered the next day. They didnt ship together because they were out of stock for a day or 2. I called about my other seat a few days later and it was already delivered at my door. Any future purchases will be checked with autoplicity 1st.

Quick and easy

Thanks

Great site. Provided needed technical specs. Shipped promptly. Although I had to ask for the tacking number, it was not emailed, one was provided promptly upon request.
