So the Moto-Rad 180s really open at 190-195. Now I gotta take the thing back and play three-thermostat monte with other brands until I get a real 180F unit.

Ridiculous.
That's basically acting just like a 195 stat should act. I wonder if they just boxed or stamped the damn things wrong.
Does it actually say 180 on the bottom of the stat? They are typically stamped with the temp rating.
