This thermostat is perfect for engine oil cooling in motorcycles, ATVs, go karts, and other small engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe device's unique, patented internal design (US patent 9,772,632) ensures a low pressure drop by placing the bypass valve mechanism completely out of the primary oil flow. This arrangement also allows for a compact design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithout a thermostat, oil and transmission fluid coolers are likely to over-cool the fluid, delaying engine warm-up and resulting in horsepower loss, excessive engine wear and reduced fuel economy. Oil thermostats perform the critical function of bypassing the cooler until the oil has reached its minimum operating temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe thermostat maintains the oil exiting the engine at the rated minimum temperature in most conditions. It features female -6AN O-ring boss threads and is available with optional hose barb and male AN adapter fittings. The included brackets allow for multiple mounting options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch1\u003eOPERATION\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Improved Racing FSC Compact Inline Thermostat Flow Diagram\" src=\"https:\/\/media.improvedracing.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/IR-Product-Content-Images\/flowDiagramFSM.png\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch1\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures and Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces excessive engine wear and horsepower losses while improving fuel economy by preventing oil temperatures from dropping below optimal levels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatented, high flow, low pressure drop design locates the valve assembly completely out of the primary fluid flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaintains a minimum fluid temperature according to the typical stabilisation temp in the table below, +\/- 2°F (+\/- 1°C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllows a small percentage (less than 10%) of fluid to continually circulate through the cooler to eliminate air pockets and prevent cold fluid trapped in the cooler from shocking the system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRebuildable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6061-T6 billet aluminium construction with black MIL-A-8625 Type II anodised finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight at just 7.5 ounces (212g) without brackets or fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Unrestricted oil flow through thermostat\" src=\"https:\/\/media.improvedracing.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/IR-Product-Content-Images\/FSC_1.jpg\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eValve assembly is completely housed between the two ports.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo valves, springs, or thermal motor interrupting the primary oil flow!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Compact dimensions\" src=\"https:\/\/media.improvedracing.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/IR-Product-Content-Images\/FSC-16.png\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUltra-compact dimensions (shown in inches)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Multiple mounting options\" src=\"https:\/\/media.improvedracing.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/IR-Product-Content-Images\/FSM-4.png\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrackets allow for multiple mounting configurations\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFluid cooling systems flowing up to a maximum of 5 GPM (18.93 LPM).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFluid cooling systems for automotive and small vehicle transmissions, transaxles, transfer cases and differentials.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOil cooling systems for small engines such as motorcycles, ATVs, go karts, snowmobiles, and small marine engines.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot for use with corrosive fluids.
