Radium Engineering Universal Coolant Tank, 1240mL
Part Number: 20-2270
Coolant expansion tanks are necessary for proper air bleeding in applications that utilise a rear mounted radiator or a low mounted radiator such as a V-Mount. However, expansion tanks are also valuable when integrated into a common radiator setup. To allow heat expansion, traditional coolant systems require air to be present in the top portion of the radiator during low temperatures. A coolant expansion tank permits the radiator to be 100% filled with coolant in all conditions.
This Radium Engineering Coolant Expansion Tank holds 1240mL and is a multi-piece design constructed of CNC billet 6061 aluminium. A pressure cap is not included — the CNC billet receiver is compatible with Type-A "radiator" caps. The tank features two internal chambers that are not isolated from each other, with cross-over passages at the top and bottom.
NOTE: This product is not a coolant overflow tank. It is designed to be a part of the pressurised coolant system.
Pressure Caps (Sold Separately)
The optional Radium Engineering pressure caps allow the user to select a range of pressure. A high pressure cap increases the boiling point in the cooling system, providing improved cooling efficiency — particularly valuable when tracking the vehicle in extreme conditions.
- Radium Pressure Cap – 1.1 Bar (110 kPa, 15.6 psi)
- Radium Pressure Cap – 1.3 Bar (130 kPa, 18.9 psi)
- Radium Pressure Cap – 1.5 Bar (150 kPa, 21.8 psi)
Specs & Features
The coolant tank includes the following ports:
- 6AN ORB (9/16"-18) top port – Inlet for incoming hot water; natural bleed for the system.
- 10AN ORB (7/8"-14) bottom port (opposite the inlet) – Drain back outlet; typically plumbed to the water pump inlet fitting on the suction side.
- 10AN ORB (7/8"-14) bottom port (under the inlet port) – Not commonly used. If applicable, connect to the highest point of the engine to allow air bubbles trapped in the radiator or engine to travel up to the coolant tank.
- Barbed cap fitting – Overflow/purge port.
