Pollak solenoid # PK5230701 is designed to be mounted vertically, with the cap facing downward. It should be mounted in an enclosed area, but not in the engine compartment.

Solenoid # PK5230701 is actually manufactured in Mexico. You should know, though, that Pollak is a certified ISO9001/QS9000 manufacturer and has also earned Q1 preferred status at Ford, General Motors' Mark of Excellence, Chrysler's Gold Pentastar, Navistar V and similar ranking with PACCAR, Freightliner, John Deere, Case, Caterpillar, Borg-Warner and other respected OEM's.
