You don't need the adapter if you use the remote line. The remote line goes directly into the oil filter housing.

Is the stm remote line the same as ams? I just bought the stm remote line.

According to the site. One End is 1/8 NPT and the oil filter housing side is 3/8 BSPT. Seems like the guys with the STM line are good to go. Still use sealant though. |

From what I have searched, AMS remote line has a 3/8 NPT thread, some people use taflon tape to fit it directly into 3/8 BSPT. But I would rather to use an adapter. I will call AMS next week to confirm what thread it has.

To be fair, it's kinda impossible to not "copy" something as simple as an oil line.

Yea probably special order at a machine shop.
Nah its 3/8 BSPT. I have installed it myself but make sure by contacting AMS. Yes, its a blatant copy of the AMS product. |
This has been debated in the past. AMS is wrong its not NPT but rather BSPT. The thing is that with pipe dope and the tapered fitting the threads are close enough that it may work but it is not NPT.

I called AMS. They said it's a 3/8 NPT. That's weird.

Correct, and then they end up leaking a drop or two every couple of weeks.

I know all that, but Heel2toe is saying their line is BSPT. If it were then why would AMS say it's NPT?
|
STM did mentioned that their remote line has a 3/8 BSPT thread. I'm gonna go with STM line. It's only 15 bucks more than AMS.

Lol sorry I guess I can see how my comment was confusing. Let me try again...I have no idea what size fitting AMS has for their line. If they say its NPT then I would believe that it is NPT. That being said National Pipe Thread is the incorrect threads for our OFH and the correct size is instead 3/8 BSPT. Pal expanded on what I was getting at and this is the reason why this has been debated in the past because people have the false sense of reality thinking that it is NPT since it will thread in and when you goop it up and soft AL threads or brass threads for a fitting ends up potentially sealing.
However its still not NPT so get the right fitting. Personally I purchased the STM remote sending unit line which included the proper fitting and hey guess what, it doesn't leak! |
