How to Ship Your Radiator

1. Choose the Right Box
Select a sturdy box that is approximately 2" larger than the radiator on all sides. A flat-panel TV box works very well.

2. Cushion the Bottom
Pad the bottom of the box generously with protective material such as:

• Styrofoam (from packaging)
• Air cushions
• Expanding foam bags
• Heavy crumpled newspaper

3. Position the Radiator
Place the radiator inside the box and fill all sides with the same type of cushioning material. Keep the radiator centered in the box.

 4. Protect Vulnerable Areas
Add extra padding around:

• Hose connections
• Corners
• Any protruding fittings
   

If we will be reusing your existing core, slide an extra sheet of cardboard in front of and behind the core to help prevent punctures.

5. Protect the Top Tank (Most Important Step)
Finish by adding as much padding as possible around the top tank. This is the most visible part of the radiator and requires the most protection.

 For return shipping, we use heavy-duty, double-wall boxes made specifically for our radiators.

• Each radiator is sealed in a protective plastic bag.
• Expanding foam bags are placed at all four corners for maximum protection.
• The plastic bag prevents damage in the unlikely event a foam bag ruptures.
   

All radiators are returned with:

• Correctly marked mounting bolts
• Fan shroud attaching hardware
• Hose clamps
• Correct overflow hose

Our goal is to ensure your radiator arrives back to you in excellent condition — ready to install and enjoy.
