how it is opened
also called cap type · release
WHETHER THE CAP CARRIES A LEVER THAT VENTS THE SYSTEM BEFORE IT CAN BE TURNED OFF, or must simply be left to cool. Motorad publishes it as a named field on its own site and prints two values - `Type: Standard` on the T16, T16R and T20R against `Type: Safety Lever` on the ST16 - with two confirming fields beside it, `Lever Type: Yes/No` and `Quick Pressure Release: Yes/No`. Stant states the same distinction in prose on the 10231 (`Vented design`, the Lev-R-Vent lever). IT IS A SAFETY FACT AND THE ONLY ONE IN THIS BATCH: a hot cooling system will throw boiling coolant at whoever opens a standard cap, and the lever exists to stop that, so a shelf that cannot say which it is selling is failing the buyer rather than merely under-describing the part. Concern measurement.
