Let me see if I can explain in text. The thermostatic plate has 2 extruded male fittings on it which match the AN female fittings on the hoses that route to the cooler. The male fittings have gaskets which tend to tear and compress unevenly when the male fittings are tightened. I bought an entirely new plate, just to scavenge gaskets surrounded by a metal ring to prevent that. I also had leaks at both elbows of the AN fittings.
