    AFCO 85286 Details

    This AFCO electric fan switch uses a ground wire to turn the electric cooling fan on. The thermal fan switch features a 1/4" NPT threaded brass body with a spade terminal for hook-up. Cooling fan switch activates a cooling fan relay (not included, sold seperately) when the bulb is immersed in coolant that is 200° F. When the engine cools to 185° F, the contacts on the fan relay switch open, and the fan stops automatically. Make sure the temperature fan switch bulb is submerged in the HOT engine coolant.

    • Non-adjustable radiator fan sensor 
    • ON @ 200° F
    • OFF @ 185° F
    • Uses ground wire to switch current to fan

    Overall Assessment

    Customers find the product offers peace of mind with its automatic fan temperature switch system, which optimally manages engine power during races. The product is appreciated for its compatibility with a rare, hard to find 1/4" NPT port size found in vintage beasts, a feature not easily available in the market. Several reviews mention the product functioning as advertised. However, some reviews noted short lifespans when used directly for fan power and recommended using as a ground for relay switch.

    I used it to power the coolant fan. It allows me not to worry about rather or not it needs to be on. During the race, while the air naturally cools down the radiator. It's not necessary to run the fan. Having the fan run constantly, I assume is stealing power from the engine making the charge system work harder. But during the yellow and red flags, engine always climbs 30+ degrees. So it's nice to have an automatic fan temperature switch.

    Most temp sensors are threaded 1/2" NPT or 3/8" NPT. Some of the more modern ones are 1/8" NPT. But if you buy a generic aluminum radiator for for vintage beast, odds are it will have a 1/4" NPT port for a sensor. This one did the trick.

    Went through 2 of these. Both failed unexpectedly, short lives. Use only as ground for relay switch, not for direct power to the fan. Seems to be the only 1/4 npt switch on the market.

    It's difficult to review a product like this. The important specs were explained fully; it works as advertised. Shipping and handling were expeditious; Speedway often ships the same day I order. Great selection, great service. It's that simple.

    Does this act as a ground for the fan motor or does it need to run to a relay?
