16 Row Core 5in. Tall -8an Inlets Trans/Oil Co

The DERALE 16 Row Core 5-inch Tall transmission and oil cooler with -8AN inlets is a plate-type fluid cooler engineered for high-performance and heavy-duty cooling applications. Built from aluminum with a black powder coat finish, this cooler features 10 AN female O-ring inlets and outlets paired with 8 AN male adapters, providing a universal fit across diverse fluid systems. Compact at 8 x 2.2 x 18.5 inches and weighing just 3.05 pounds, the DER51608 delivers efficient heat rejection in space-constrained installations where reliable cooling performance is non-negotiable.

The 16-row core design maximizes surface area for superior thermal transfer without excessive pressure drop, a critical balance in high-flow hydraulic and transmission systems. The aluminum construction resists corrosion while remaining lightweight—essential for mobile platforms where every pound impacts fuel economy and handling. The dual -8AN connection points support SAE J518 standard hose fittings, allowing seamless integration with industry-standard braided line assemblies and quick-disconnect couplers. The 5-inch core height positions this cooler as a mid-size solution, bridging the gap between compact single-pass designs and oversized multi-row units when baseline cooling capacity meets spatial constraints.

This cooler is suited for automotive performance builds, marine engine packages, industrial hydraulic circuits, and off-road recovery systems where transmission temperatures or hydraulic fluid temperature management determines operational longevity. Whether mounted in confined engine bays, between frame rails, or in auxiliary cooling loops, the compact footprint and universal adapter configuration reduce fabrication time and custom bracket requirements. The black powder coat protects against UV degradation and minor impact, standard for coolers seeing variable environmental exposure. Operators managing high-demand fluid systems—racing, towing, extreme terrain operation—depend on plate-type coolers to prevent thermal shutdown and component wear.

DERALE holds a strong reputation for manufacturing cooling solutions that balance OEM compatibility with aftermarket performance standards. The 16-row core strikes a practical middle ground: sufficient cooling capacity for elevated-duty cycles without the height penalty of 20+ row designs. Specification selection should account for total fluid volume, maximum operating temperature, ambient conditions, and system flow rate to ensure the cooler remains within its effective operating envelope. This unit is sold as-is, individual—mount and plumbing hardware are the buyer's responsibility.
