Taromina Oil Filter Console
Hey,
Anyone know what the thread is on the bottom port of the taromina oil filter console? I just purchased one of the early ones. I assumed it was NPT, but it seems to be straight cut. The thread looks like it matches -16an, but if thats the case, shouldn't it be ORB and have the little recess and chamfer for the o-ring? Looks like the later ones came with an adapter to -16 male. I'm looking at an early one with just the female threads. Maybe a long shot, but I appreciate any help. Thanks!! |

Don't have a Taormina console, but it's common to have a straight thread same as -16 but flat face with small recess for an O ring on the female side. If it's that, the correct fitting would be AN16 cone on one end, straight thread on the other.

Mepstien, you got the one I wanted out of Oz. Good purchase! I bought the modified one that just popped up.
This may very well be straight AN thread as pointed out above and confirmed by Adam. The only issue is that I don't see the o-ring boss that usually comes with straight AN thread. I thought you'd always see an o-ring recess and chamfer in the case of straight thread ORB fittings. Maybe not an issue here, I can just use an ORB fitting with some sealant on the threads instead of the o ring. Not like there is any pressure here. |

If there's no relief for an O ring, an aluminum or copper sealing ring would work as well. Either way, make sure it's soft since the other parts involved are aluminum and you don't want to mar them.

I snagged a -16 ORB out of my oil thermostat, and it threaded right in. It was a tight fit for a threaded connection. I have no doubt that it would seal just fine with a bit of sealant or loctite. I'll be going that route. Thanks everyone. Unfortunate that I spelled the company name wrong in the title. And for the record, I still think it's strange that he didn't add the o-ring feature. I was shopping eBay for the cutter, but it's a spendy little unit for just one part. Last edited by NotStock; 01-25-2023 at 04:23 PM.. |

Ok, got a final answer. It is -16ORB, omit the o-ring and use hi-temp loc tite.
Thanks everyone. |
