This universal oil catch can kit is designed for installation in cars that are experiencing oil build-up from the crankcase ventilation system.
This catch can kit is perfect for custom applications. It is designed for engines that use 1/2" (13mm) lines for the crankcase ventilation system. It is recommended to measure the engine vent lines first prior to ordering.
Radium Engineering offers bolt-in oil catch can kits for many different applications. For vehicles that are not covered, these universal kits are the next best option. Each kit includes Radium Engineering's patented universal Fluid Lock® oil catch can with universal mounting bracket, a length of PCV hose, a selection of adapter fittings and hose-ends.
A variety of adapter fittings and hose-ends are provided so optimum hose routing can be achieved. Some fittings will not be used. Additional fittings can be purchased from Radium Engineering.
To select the correct kit, simply measure the fitting diameters on the engine. If installing the catch can kit on the PCV valve hose and the diameter of the PCV valve hose barb measures 10mm, 10mm is very close to 3/8" and 3/8" is 6AN size. So select the 6AN version of the kit. 8AN is for 1/2" ID hose, and 10AN is for 5/8" ID hose.
- Depending on the PCV system design, some engines may require multiple catch cans.
- Catch cans are NOT designed to be used with aftermarket crankcase vacuum pumps.
The catch cans are machined from solid 6061 aluminum. The 2 halves and all ports are O-ring sealed, thus safe for pressurized (forced induction) applications. The main inlet and outlet ports are 10AN ORB (7/8"-14) female threads. An integrated dipstick unscrews for a quick way to check oil level.
These catch cans feature advanced air/oil separation. As shown below, there is an integrated stainless steel baffle plate.
The Radium-only Fluid Lock mechanism keeps oil trapped in the catch can and prevents collected oil from "dumping" into the breather hoses when the catch can is full.
These catch cans feature Radium Engineering's patent pending Fluid Lock technology. If the catch can fills up and is not emptied, an internal valve closes and eliminates the contaminants from exiting the catch can and entering the engine. Furthermore, it maintains normal venting through the catch can prohibiting engine damage.
For draining, there are a couple options depending on the application. If there is space, the lower half of the body that holds all of the contaminants simply unscrews. However, if there is no room to remove the lower half of the catch can, there is a 4AN ORB (7/16"-20) female threaded drain port. A 4AN ORB plug (shown below) is provided.
