Abstract
A side mounting channel for a radiator is an integrally molded plastic unit with a shape particularly tailored to efficiently resisting the warping forces that result from thermal growth of the radiator core. Each side channel has a flat web and parallel, perpendicular edge flanges that substantially symmetric to the web. The edge flanges taper down into the plane of the web over a transition portion of defined length.
