So I worked out the switch question. Ordered up the unit...stuffed it in the chassis, laid out the best routing for the plumbing, bought all the fittings......then came the realization that the fittings take up too much space to fit it all in the desired location. The run from the bottom of the tank to the entry into the remote oil filter housing can take no more than 14 inches. This leaves no space to actually connect the fittings with braided hoses. It's pretty much non-stop fittings.
I have seen a few on this site make the AC system plumbing out of copper tubing, utilizing components normally seen in home water systems. An approach such as this or some variation would eliminate most of these fittings and make the overall length much shorter.
So here is my question
If I wanted to make the connections using a tubing solution (possibly similar to what we all do with water system vent lines) - What material should be used? Of course it would be a much larger diameter tube as the oil system is -10. It would also take a serious tubing bender and flair tool to make the tube segments.
Or could one actually make this work using simple copper solder together fittings?
Regardless, the run from the engine side of the filter housing will be - 10 braided line.
Thoughts, comments and recommendations appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob
