1/2\" to 3/8\" reducer for oil cooler line.

[wild85]

I need a reducer for my oil cooler line, the oil line is 1/2\" goodyear hose, and the nipples on the B&M cooler are 3/8\". Does anyone make this size reducer? I looked at canadian tire in the auto department and in the plumbing department. Anybody know?

Are you needing a fitting with 3/8\" female on one side and 1/2\" male on the other end? If not tell me what the fitting needs to be and I probably have one if it is pipe threads. I won\'t have one if it is AN fitting. I would just throw it in the mail to ya for free if I got it.

I think i need a male fitting, so i can hook up the 1/2\" hose and 3\"8\" hose together. then the 3\"8\" hose would go over top of the cooler nipple. Thanks

basically a 1/2 nipple to a 3/8 nipple

1/2\" nipples to 3/8\" nipples? Why?? When it comes to nipples Isn\'t bigger better??



Oh, my Bad. I didn\'t read the original post http://www.s10v8.com/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif



Ha! Ha!

Ah IC. I don\'t have any reducing nipples. I do have a fitting that is 3/8\" male on one side an 1/2\" female on the other.And I have a 1/2\" nipple. You could screw the first fitting it into your 3/8\" hose then screw the 1/2\" nipple into that fitting and screw your 1/2\" hose onto the nipple. Let me know if ya want them.

I got some reducers, but now when i fire it up, oil pisses out from the top of the filter. I am not sure where it is coming from or what i did wrong.

Does your kit have the adapter that bolts where your filter was then your filter screws onto the bottom of the adapter? If so I believe most of them require a ford filter on the adapter. If you put a Chevy one back on that might be the problem.

[wild85]

yes that is the one I have, the kit bolts to where the filter was. i have a fram ph8A filter which it says to use in the table of filters.It seems to be leaking between the adaptor and the motor.I have the round aluminum piece with the O- ring, against the engine, then the adaptor with the O ring, then the extended nipple thing that screws everything on. The god damn thing still pisses oil. I don\'t know what to do.
