17 Row Plate/Fin Cooler 1/2in FPT

The 17 Row Plate/Fin Cooler 1/2in FPT from DERALE is a professional-grade transmission and engine oil cooler designed for serious automotive enthusiasts who demand reliable thermal management during high-performance driving. Whether you're upgrading a modified truck, sports car, or towing rig, this cooler addresses one of the most critical pain points in custom builds: excessive fluid temperatures that compromise shift quality, reduce component lifespan, and limit power potential. Built by DERALE, a trusted manufacturer in the cooling industry, this unit solves the problem of inadequate factory cooling capacity when you've added horsepower, bigger turbos, or increased towing loads.

The 17-row aluminum plate-and-fin core design maximizes surface area for efficient heat dissipation while maintaining a compact footprint—17 rows deliver serious cooling capacity without requiring excessive underbody real estate. The 1/2-inch female pipe thread (FPT) ports accept standard -6AN or 1/2in hose fittings, making integration into custom plumbing straightforward for experienced fabricators and installers. Aluminum construction resists corrosion and keeps weight down at just 2.9 lbs, while the plate-fin geometry promotes turbulent flow patterns that enhance heat transfer compared to simple tube designs. This cooler is engineered to handle both street and track duty, maintaining fluid temperatures that preserve viscosity and hydraulic function even under sustained load or ambient heat stress.

This cooler is ideal for transmission upgrades, engine oil systems on forced-induction vehicles, and any application where stock cooling has become a bottleneck. Dimensions of 11.7 x 2.1 x 13.4 inches allow flexible mounting in engine bays, frame rails, or custom brackets. Professional installers and DIY builders prefer DERALE coolers for their reliability and straightforward integration; the 1/2in FPT connection standard is compatible with most aftermarket cooling hose kits and AN fittings. Whether you're fine-tuning a weekend warrior or building a serious performance platform, proper fluid temperature control ensures longevity and consistent performance mile after mile.
