Fluid Control Thermostat Kit

The Derale Performance 13011 Fluid Control Thermostat Kit is designed to optimize engine oil temperature by allowing the oil to bypass the cooler until it reaches 180°F. This feature is particularly beneficial in cold weather climates, as it facilitates quicker engine warm-up and maintains optimal operating temperatures. Constructed from durable aluminum with a polished finish, this thermostat kit includes 3/8" NPT ports. The kit comes complete with a hardware kit, brass fittings, and hose clamps for installation. The design allows for a rotatable flow direction, offering installation flexibility. The thermostat activates at 180°F and deactivates at 165°F, ensuring precise temperature control. Installation requires attention to keep oil lines away from sharp edges and moving parts, with a recommended minimum hose bend radius of 5 inches. The product comes with a limited one-year manufacturer's warranty.
