Derale 35922 10AN Aluminum Swivel Fitting Review

Using this product, our team found that installation was a breeze and the swivel feature made it easy to adjust to the proper position. The ALUMINUM material is high quality and durable. However, it is a bit pricier than other fittings on the market. Overall a great investment for a performance car..

This fitting did not meet my expectations for a high-performance automotive cooling system .As a result of my tests, I determined that it was poorly designed and did not function as it should. The only positive aspect was that it was made of aluminum which is a durable material. However, the cons outweighed the pros because it was hard to install and did not fit my specific engine requirements. Overall, I do not recommend this product to anyone looking for reliable cooling system components..

Unfortunately, standard VDO sensors break through before they are even tightened, see image. This requires either a relief recess in the adapter or a thread with a slightly smaller diameter (NPT thread, i.e. somewhat narrower anyway).
