Product Description
Inline Coolant Bypass Thermostat for UTV Heaters - Ice Crusher MaxStat
2025 Redesign! - Our redesigned Brass MaxStat is 30% more compact simplifying installation. The new design also eliminates the need for rubber O-rings that can fail over time. Lastly, coolant flow is critical for a high functioning heater installation. The MaxStat now comes in Arm and Elbow configurations to direct the output hose in the most efficient way possible.
Note: 44mm MaxStat refers to the flange size of the thermostat, not the port size.
The MaxStat directs all engine coolant to your Ice Crusher Cab Heater, this means that the output of your heater will be at its maximum. If there is heat in your cooling system then you will have heat from your Ice Crusher Cab Heater. More heat means a warmer cab and in turn a warmer you!
MaxStat only opens to let coolant flow though the radiator when the cooling system requires it to keep the UTV engine at an optimal temperature.
CNC Machined Aluminum.

Excellant Product
This inline thermostat did the job I needed it to do just perfect. While I did not use it for which it was designed I did use it on a engine that did not have a thermostat and it also had the 3/4 inlets which is hard to find. I am very happy with this product. The only think I did not see was the options to purchase different temp thermostats.

Ice Crusher MaxStat - Inline Coolant Bypass Thermostat for UTV Heaters
Maxstat has really helped my 2019 Yamaha Wolverine X2 factory heater. Where as before the coolant temp could never get hot because the coolant was going through the heater core and radiator thus keeping the machine at about 160 degrees while heater was on. Now with the Maxstat the coolant temp stays around 170 -180 degrees depending on the outside air temp. 10 degrees might not sound like much until you try pulling heat from it.I am satisfied with this purchase. As for the design of this unit I do have a couple issues.The heater hose barb doesn't really have a lot to thread into and you have to be careful when tightening as to not strip it out,especially with tape on it. I had to pull mine off a couple times and tighten more and more until it quit leaking(antifreeze bath each time). The other was lining up the thermostat bleed hole with the heater hose outlet hole. That took the longest because you have to set the thermostat at a point that when you tighten it,it spins in the housing.All in all it did help the heater out a lot.

Works as it should and easy to install. Was definitely a difference as far as getting high coolant volume to the heater

Coupers heater and maxed out review
Recently purchased ice crusher heater and installed in 2017 general. Very nice product well-made. Instructions could use a little bit of refinement on installation. Didn’t buy Max that thermostat originally wasn’t getting performance so desired. ordered Max that thermostat now working as advertised and very pleased.

MaxStat Works Great
We are a Yamaha dealer and have installed 4 maxstats and it is by far the best product we have found to put out the best heat. We have tried other products/ideas to get the heater hot and non of them work as well or are as easy to install/user friendly. Recommend for anybody struggling to get heat out of their heater. Works great!!

This is an awesome company
I wish I could give a review on the but we bought the ice crusher heater and ordered the bypass thinking we would need it. We found out that the way the side by side was set up we would get the maximum output of heat without installing the bypass I have to say the heater is AWESOME and had we needed the bypass I am sure it would be awesome too. Thank you Couper’s!!
