is it necessary to run a thermostat in-line with an oil cooler setup?
- Thread starter the t3d
- Start date
Ran a Permacool T Stat here for years with no issues at all, upgraded to the Mocal one last build as it was inbuilt -10 male fittings.

Is this the right/okay hose to use with these fittings for this application?

Ughh... I was considering running the Permacool Thermostat but just decided to bite the bullet and shell out the cash for the Mocal unit.. Hopefully the extra money will give me some peace of mind. Just gotta figure out my routing and order some fittings 
Yes that's the hose you want to use with the fittings.. Twist tite hose, Twist tite fittings.

Thanks for the answer. One more question though. Since the whole previous conversation confused the hell out of me should i use clamps with that hose/fitting combo or not?
I was lucky and got my complete setup here used for $300. Had the cooler, Thermostat, remote filter adapter, hose with a complete pushlock setup. I would not think of skipping anything that helps with the oiling. At the moment I am now REALLY considering getting an accusump setup. I am worried about my startups with the extra lines as well as first startup. This info on the pushlock fittings is assuring.
From what I have read from Aeroquip's site, not only is using clamps on push-lok fittings a waste of money, it can potentially cause the fittings to leak; don't use them.
ok so after reading this http://www.supramania.com/forums/sh...ist-Tite-quot-hose-discovery&highlight=summit i don't want to use the summit fitting/hose any more.
would this be a better alternative? http://www.aeroquip.cc/fbm1203-fcm1203.aspx I am sorry guys i am for some reason still confused about the hose barb/push lock and clamping/clamp less fittings.

I've used Summit twist-tight hose/fittings and never had a problem with it...I did use the 3 barb AN type fitting vs the 2 barb NPT.
The Aeroquip fitting you linked to looks like a std brass barb...it's not push-lock...there is a difference.
Aeroquip makes good stuff - you won't go wrong with their version of the push-lock hose.

When I was looking a while back this was the cheapest place: http://www.racerpartswholesale.com/category/Aeroquip_Socketless_Fittings
Buy those and the aeroquip socketless hose and you should be ok.
