Your looking for something like this but larger right?

I have one in a -8th
But I have never seen a -10 but I sure you could fin a good location to tap the sandwich plate if need be

Thread jack ended.lol

^^What?? I feel like im getting thread jacked here.

There is prolly y or t adapter for the use of 2 sensors through one hole.

Industrial flare fittings (JIS) use an angle of 37°
AN fittings spec the same angle but it is not recommend to couple them together.

its JIC and there are multiple angles 37 45 i can look it up once i get back but there are thousands of part numbers, you basically have the holes NPT and use the an fittings but why use them at all i say just do npt and the jic. the hoses are better, less than half the price and the fittings are cheap...

i think ill try it my next build.

i tried finding the AN style in my books all i could figure out is every -1 is a 1/16th of an inch or so and only in AC lines *Shrug*

not sure why they are so expensive online i get the same stuff for a couple of bucks. guess its that markup

and the quality is top notch, designed for heavy duty everyday use.

Yeah typo on my part.

I would choose JIC over AN as well.
Steel fittings which are used on everything from tractors to earth movers.
Aluminum AN stuff is pretty over-hyped, basically paying for the name & the appearance.

maybe weight savings? i mean rubber steel braid rubber has to weigh more than rubber steel braid.. at the cost of... 90$ for 10 feet? to have less material?

You also have to look at what those hoses can handle.

Most hoses for tractors are only rated for hydraulic oil and high pressure where as most an hose can handle any sort of liquid and lots of heat. They also engineer hose and fittings for lightweight on some models as not every person buying them is for there budget oil cooler kit and sometimes weight matters.

ive looked at the tech specs its the same CPE inner lining with synthetic rubber the big difference is the braid on the JIC lines are thicker and they are sometimes dual or triple braided with the rubber outer coating. its thick stuff it might just be the size.

heres a good example.

now take a russel its the same inner lining and the inner steel braid then thats it.

then again there isnt 1 hose there are 20-30 different ones and they even label them 'hot oil high pressure' or 'hot oil low pressure'

id rather have something that weighs a fraction more and lasts 10x longer *shrug*

Ya but that stuff won't work for fuel or e85. For oil only sure.

And quality an hose and matching alum fittings they will last plenty long. The cheap ones vary.

 

[tlo86]

flex fuel is a different ballgame.

i use these kits mostly. just adapt a normal line and i can e85 anything. and use quick disconnects if i want (i make the lines at work, they can cost 25$ i usually charge 100-200$) and easy to use the standard gm fuel filter (hot rods mostly)

alum fittings match but the price doesn't do it any justice the same fittings in jic are wayy cheaper and the weight is not much different

and they are rated or petroleum for fuel transfer lines, ive had em made hundreds of times (Gas station pumps anyone ) even submersible where the line sits in fuel and transfers it / siphons it at low and high pressures
thats where i think the size thing comes in and i prefer the sur kits

Yea something like that, but it does need to be a -10 for the lines im going to run. i would try to find a Y or T for the pressure port but im going to have an AC compressor there as well so i dont think the whole assembly would fit behind it? maybe use one of the turbo feed ports since i only need one now that im going single, maybe??

 

[hvyman]

You can use a turbo feed port. also there is plenty of room with ac for 2 sensors with the dm adapter line

 

[jesse_rc1991]

having trouble finding the right fitting. i also read they make a greddy sandwich adapter that has ports for a temp switch but cant find it. So i cant see if it has a built in thermostat also
