I`m installing a Canton oil stat. All the oil lines to the remote oil filter and cooler seem to be a 1/2" line and -8AN.
The oil stat has -10an fittings.
Is there a 1/2" push lock fitting with a female -10AN? ( barbed end 1/2" and female-10AN)

I don`t need a tune but thanx

Sorry I copy it wrong from my phone

You'll either have to change the fittings on the stat or you can get a -10 to -8 reducer. Female/male. The fittings in the stat are probably 10 or 12orb. 10 or 12orb to -8 is a very common fitting and should be easy to find at any hydraulic supply house.

Here ya go,

dan,i reccomend -10 as a minimum,i use -12 on the ones i do,i can help you with what you need,oh,buy the way hax,i am wearing a blue shirt today.

Mike, ok I`m going -10AN.. for the cooler lines I need a inverted flare back to -10AN, since its such goofy ass fittings I found a place to make the lines for me. Its gonna be hydraulic lines good 300psi so a little over kill lol

The inverted flare setup kinda sucks. That will be your restriction in the oil system. I believe the stock orifice with the inverted flare setup measures 3/8" at best.

For now, i'd do the -10 lines, and try to use full flow 90's over a standard 90, if you must use any kind of 90* fittings. Then, maybe next season you can upgrade the coolers with ones that have 1/2" NPT fittings. 1/2"NPT to -10AN is a close match.

Fittings can be confusing. Lots of guys think a 1/2" NPT is actually 1/2", but it is actually larger. The outside dimension of a 1/2"NPT is closer to 3/4". And the inside hole where oil flows thru is closer to 5/8".

The inside orifice of a -8AN, where it funnels down to its smallest point at the flare, is .390". -10 is .480, and -12 is .610.

My oil system has 1/2"NPT ports everywhere. So by using -10 stuff, the -10 orifices will be slightly smaller than the fittings on the coolers and the block adapters, but a close match. -12 would be better.

Some of the stock merc stuff can be on the small side. Some block adapters were 3/8NPT, lots of inverted flare 90* fittings. I would compare the merc stuff to pretty much -8an size. Going to -12 or -10 fittings wont hurt, but to be totally good, everything from the block adapter out should be upgraded if you feel the need.

Hopefully no leaks and it works as advertised.
