ABSTRACT:
A cover is used to integrate two thermostat valves in a compact set, wherein the cover has a hollowed body (1) projected from a flange (2) converging to a center part in which a vertical tubular element (5) is fitted to interconnect with a radiator via a hose. In the interior of the hollowed body (1), there are two adjacent galleries (7) shaped with independent end entrances (8and9) that are open in the base of the flange (2), and which share a single exit (10) defined by the tubular element (5). The mouthpieces of the two independent entrances are surrounded by grooves (11) that receive sealing rings (12). On two diametrically opposing sides of each independent entrance (8and9) of adjacent galleries (7), two orthogonal legs (13) are projected, the legs having facing grooves (14) for receiving the thermostat ends therein, the thermostats being in alignment with the center of each independent entrance (8and9), a protuberance (15) provided with a hole (16) is used to centralize the assembly of the two thermostats.
