Abstract
There is disclosed herein a radiator wherein grooves formed in a tank flange and in a header match each other and a mound formed on an associated clamping strip. Tapered edges formed on locking tabs cut in the tank flange cooperate with a sloped surface on the clamping strip when bent inwardly to urge the clamping strip and header toward the tank flange so as to compress a sealing gasket between the header and tank flange grooves, eliminating the need for solder.
