How Tight to Torque the AN Fittings of the Derale Remote Cooler Kit D20561

Updated 02/21/2017 | Published 02/20/2017

Question:

I purchased the derale 20561. There are 2 aluminum fittings that go into the coolers inlet and outlet port. They show installed on the box, but come not installed. There are rubber o rings with them. Do they go between the cooler and the aluminum ports? The instructions dont mention this step. How tight do i tighten these ports I dont want to damage the o rings ? Also do I use a thread sealant on the other fittings such as the thermostat housing to the threads in the inlet port? Thanks

You are referring to the aluminum AN fittings that come with the Derale Cooler part # D20561. These don't have a specific torque figure but you would basically want to get them hand tight but keep in mind they are aluminum so don't use a long wrench and really torque on it. You do not need any sealant as the o-ring provides the seal.
