Arrgghh - oil port sizes
bilbo - 20/2/10 at 12:20 PM
This is really doing my head in
I'm trying to order all the parts for my remote oil filter / accusump assembly, but none of the suppliers seem to like to give out all the
specifications for their parts, especially around port sizes. After lots of searching, I'm now more confused as to all the different thread
sizes.
So, the question is, does anyone know the standard port size on Mocal takeoff plates and remote filter heads? All I have been able to confirm is that
they are 1/2", but is this NPT or BSP? I look to see if these are compatible, but all find is 'yes they fit, but not good for pressure
critical systems'. I kind of think my oil pressure is kind of critical?
And where the hell does 'JIC' fit into all this?
Help! I really want to try and order this all in one go if I can.

Can't offer much in the way of help but the JIC sizes are: Linky

Oil pressure is only 100psi max so it isn't a job stopper.

to save you some cash i've got a full mocal remote filter set up(new) for sale, also take off plates and an accusump one-way check valve.
I know the sizes of these!

I could be very interested in this
How much do you want?
What's the filter thread of the take off plate?

Thanks for this. So it's basically an attempt to replace all the 1000 odd standards I'm confused with with a single one. I approve of their
thinking, it's just a shame no one is listening - we've just ended up with 1001 standards

Ah, so correct me if I'm wrong, provided it's car/bike engines we are talking about, mixing NPT and BSP will be fine?

filter housing 1/2" BSP, check valve has 1/2" bsp fittings, i'll have to check the sandwich plate thread size as I can't remember
off hand. Drop me a U2U and i'll sort out some pics etc when i'm home tomorrow.
