A thermostatic valve for an internal combustion engine cooling system comprises a valve housing, a temperature-sensitive operating element, and a closure member adjustably movable by the operating element. The valve housing comprises a radiator connection opening, an engine connection opening, and a auxiliary connection opening, and defines a radiator coolant flow path between the radiator connection opening and the auxiliary connection opening, a short circuit coolant flow path between the engine connection opening and the auxiliary connection opening. Each of the radiator and short circuit coolant flow paths pass around the operating element. The closure member is movable to a first position wherein the radiator connection opening is interrupted and the engine connection opening is opened and to a second position wherein the radiator connection opening is opened and the engine connection opening is interrupted.
