Brian, I'll be using 1/2" and 3/8". Thanks for the help.

These are the Oetiker stainless steel band clamps that I have found to work the best for the Telflex hose. We us # 16702498 or (16700022) for the 3/8 hose and # 16700026 for the 1/2 hose.

I would use clamps as well....used for all my oil lines, worked great..but one came off at block adapter...summit replaced all the hose, used aeroquip after the summit brand..but did clamp all !!!!

Bump. Thinking about using AQP socketless on my oil cooler/filter setup with a 212* thermostat. I shouldn't have any issue at that temp, correct?

Aeroquip hasn't been very timely with a reply to my question about its operating temp.

AQP socketless is rated to 300 f
Been using for many years.
Jeff
