- Avoids using the traditional factory pressure-port connection
- Creates a clean, application-specific connection point

- Recommended as the standard pressure-port choice for new installations

Important installation and maintenance requirements:
- During initial installation: Clean the thread extender, apply Blue Loctite 242 or an equivalent threadlocker, and torque the thread extender to 35 ft-lb.
- At every oil-filter change: Check that the thread extender is torqued to 35 ft-lb.
- If the sandwich plate is removed: Replace the O-ring before reinstalling the plate. Do not reuse the old O-ring.

Anodized Finish:
Our housings feature a high-quality anodized finish. Because anodized colors can photograph differently under various lighting conditions, the color shown online may appear slightly different in person. Minor tone, shading, or finish variation can also occur naturally from the anodizing process and is a normal characteristic of this type of premium finish.
Product Images:
Product images, especially kit photos, may show earlier versions of certain components. Some parts have since been updated to newer, improved generations and may appear slightly than images. These are the main components that have changed:
• Oil filler caps no longer come with brass swivel center. Replaced with new generation cap that works with our upgraded swivel fittings.
• Fittings in images may have changed slightly as we rolled out with improved versions for simplified installation.
• Steel or brass fittings in images may have changed to our new black fittings to reduce the need for multiple connection points.
• Some mounting brackets have been updated for easier and more convenient access.
Images will be updated soon. Thank you for your patience!
