Conversion Adapter – A precision‑machined fitting that enables the connection of different pipe sizes, thread types, or hose diameters within the cooling system. Manufactured from high‑strength brass or steel with a corrosion‑resistant coating, this adapter features male and female threads (or barbed ends) on opposite sides, providing a reliable transition between incompatible components. Its design ensures a leak‑free seal, with tapered threads or O‑ring grooves that accommodate standard sealing methods. The adapter is engineered to withstand high coolant pressures (up to 2 bar) and temperatures (up to 120°C), ensuring long‑term durability. This component is essential for retrofitting or repairing cooling system connections, and it is a direct replacement for the original factory adapter. Its precise machining ensures a perfect fit, eliminating the need for adaptor modifications.

Square Taper Screw Plug – A robust threaded plug with a tapered thread and a square drive head, used to seal coolant ports, drain holes, or test points. Manufactured from high‑strength steel with a zinc‑plated or galvanized finish, this plug features a precision‑cut taper thread that provides a self‑sealing, leak‑tight fit when torqued correctly. The square drive allows for easy installation and removal using a standard wrench or socket, and its design ensures that the plug remains securely sealed under high coolant pressure and vibration. This plug is commonly used to close unused bosses on the engine block or cylinder head, preventing coolant loss and ingress of dirt. Its corrosion‑resistant finish ensures long‑term reliability, and it is a direct replacement for the original equipment plug. Proper torque is critical to avoid thread damage and ensure sealing.

Plug – A standard threaded closure used to block off unused coolant passages or ports in the engine cooling system. Manufactured from corrosion‑resistant steel or brass with a hex or socket head, this plug features a straight or tapered thread with a sealing washer or O‑ring groove. Its design provides a reliable, leak‑free seal when installed with the proper torque. The plug is used in various locations on the WP12 engine, such as the cylinder head, water pump housing, or thermostat housing. Its simple yet robust construction ensures long‑term durability and resistance to coolant chemicals. This plug is a direct replacement for the original factory part and is essential for maintaining the integrity of the cooling system. Replacement is recommended if the plug shows signs of thread damage or corrosion.

Water Pipe Connector – A precision‑fabricated fitting that joins coolant hoses to the engine block, radiator, or heater core. Manufactured from high‑strength aluminum or steel with a corrosion‑resistant coating, this connector features a barbed hose end and a threaded or flanged mounting base. The barbed end ensures a secure grip on the rubber hose, preventing blow‑off under high pressure, while the mounting base provides a leak‑free seal with the engine component via an O‑ring or gasket. The connector is designed to withstand high coolant temperatures and vibration, maintaining a reliable connection over the life of the engine. Its precise dimensions match the original hose diameter and mounting hole pattern, ensuring a direct fit. This water pipe connector is essential for maintaining proper coolant flow and preventing leaks, and it is a direct replacement for the original factory connector. Replacement is recommended if the barb is damaged or if the sealing surface is corroded.
