Why SPAL 195-TS is the Best Choice

Unlike competing thermo-switches, the SPAL 195-TS combines precision engineering with robust materials to deliver unmatched performance. Customer reviews highlight its ease of installation and accurate temperature control, though some note the importance of careful installation to avoid overtightening the top nut, which could damage the epoxy seal. Compared to alternatives like Painless Performance or FAERSI switches, the SPAL 195-TS offers superior stainless steel construction and a hermetically sealed design, ensuring longevity and resistance to coolant exposure. Its 195°F activation point is ideal for high-performance engines, preventing pinging and optimizing cooling efficiency.

Installation Tips

• Thread the switch into a 3/8" NPT port (or use the included 1/8" NPT adapter) in the intake manifold or cylinder head.
• Ensure the bulb is fully submerged in hot engine coolant for accurate temperature readings.
• Connect to a compatible relay (sold separately) to control your cooling fan.
• Avoid overtightening the top nut to prevent damage to the internal epoxy seal.
