RARAYC Aluminum Engine Coolant Housing Water Outlet Kit for 2011–2020 Chevy Cruze/Sonic/Trax/Encore 1.4L — Includes Hoses & Gasket

This RARAYC kit replaces the plastic engine coolant outlet with a durable 1060-H32 aluminum housing plus two replacement radiator hoses and all gaskets for a direct-fit repair on 1.4L Chevy and Buick models.

If your vehicle is leaking coolant or the stock plastic outlet has cracked, this upgraded aluminum outlet kit offers a longer-lasting, corrosion-resistant alternative. Built as a complete service replacement, the set includes the aluminum housing, two high-quality hoses and necessary seals and fittings so you can remove the failed OEM piece and install a robust metal unit that matches factory mounting points.

How does the aluminum housing compare to the original plastic outlet?

The housing is machined from 1060-H32 pure aluminum, which provides improved tensile strength and better resistance to long-term heat cycling than typical plastics. It’s less likely to crack under thermal stress and is more corrosion-resistant in the cooling system environment.

• Material: high-grade 1060-H32 pure aluminum for strength and corrosion resistance.
• Reduced risk of leak-prone fractures compared with plastic components.
• Finishes and fittings designed to mate with existing hoses and gaskets.
