Brass or Copper Splitter for Cooling Sensors

[fronton]

My cooling setup is all custom and I am short one temp switch location. I am either going to run one inline with a 38mm hose or use a dual fitting on the s38b35 coolant rail.

My question is if it is ok to use a copper or brass T fitting like the pic below.



Since the cluster temp sender is long, it would go inline with the male thread and the three prong fan switch would be in the T. I realize neither sensor would be directly in the coolant flow but I don't think it will affect accuracy more than a degree or two.

This is the other solution: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/flx-32082

Should be fine as long as the sensor is short enough to fit. If you are worried about it, check it with a temp gun after install.

I used one of those once, and it always read low.

Wouldn't do it again- I thought it would have good- enough flow to
give an accurate reading, but it didn't.

fwiw.

thanks gents, I went with a mishimoto inline coupler and had it tapped for the m14 1.5 dual temp switch.
