Generator Radiator Cap

What is the psi of the radiator cap. I don't see it marked on mine? Thanks.

I just bought a new one about two hours ago at O'Reilly's. Our PowerTech 20K had a Stant SP-29 with 13-15 psi rating. OR didn't have a Stant but X-ref it to a Murray 7713, 13 psi for $9.99. It has the same red plastic lever like the Stant. They had 3 in stock so they must be fairly common.

Replacing the hose across the bottom of the radiator with a custom copper tubing. Will post photos if it works out OK.

Ours generator is 10K not 20K. Sorry for the error. Wishful thinking. :))
