The low pressure drop (LPD) stacked plate cooler is considered to be top of the line. The stacked plate design has good cooling vs. size and can be mounted in smaller spaces than other coolers. | The low pressure drop (LPD) stacked plate cooler is considered to be top of the line.

The fin and tube coolers are cheaper to manufacture but are larger per amount of cooling capacity than the stacked plate design. If there's adequate space for mounting, the fin and tube can do a good job. | The fin and tube coolers are cheaper to manufacture but are larger per amount of cooling capacity than the stacked plate design.

The threaded case port on the TH350 is either a female 1/4-18 NPSM (National Pipe Straight Mechanical) thread, and it uses a metal washer/seal. The straight thread fitting is the most common. | The threaded case port on the TH350 is either a female 1/4-18 NPSM (National Pipe Straight Mechanical) thread, and it uses a metal washer/seal.
