Abstract
A thermostatic valve comprises a housing having a valve seat and opposed openings in its wall for circulating coolant; a spring surrounds the housing and a valve plate is positioned for abutment against and retraction from the seat with the valve plate supporting a thermostatic operating element which bears against the inner surface of the housing to activate the valve plate depending on the temperature of the coolant. The valve plate has elastic arms, each arm having a free end to interfit into one of the opposed openings in the housing. The valve plate is assembled with the housing by force fitting the elastic arms into the openings and a compressive spring surrounding the housing is held in position between the protruding flanks of the housing and the outwardly extending projection of the arms in the openings.
