It is machined from stainless steel with an NPT thread connection, giving a corrosion-resistant connector for joining steering hose or tubing runs at a 45 degree angle where a straight fitting will not route cleanly through the helm, cylinder, or bulkhead. Hydraulic steering systems depend on tight, leak-free connections to keep the system bled and responsive, and a fitting with the correct angle and thread lets the hose or tube run without kinking or placing stress on the connection point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is intended for use with SeaStar 2-line hydraulic steering systems, including systems set up with 3\/8 inch diameter tubing or hose runs to the helm pump and cylinder. It is sold as a single fitting (Manufacturer Part Number HF5540) so it can be added or replaced individually without buying a full hose or tube kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e SeaStar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e HF5540\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hydraulic Steering Fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Angle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45 Degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnector Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 5 x 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.16 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 731957881632\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntended for SeaStar 2-line hydraulic steering systems using 3\/8 inch diameter tubing or hose runs, including systems built around the HC5332 cylinder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat angle is the HF5540 fitting?\u003c\/strong\u003e The HF5540 is a 45 degree fitting, used where a hydraulic steering hose or tube run needs to change direction without a sharp bend or a straight connector.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the SeaStar HF5540 made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made of stainless steel, chosen for corrosion resistance in a marine hydraulic steering system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat thread type does the HF5540 use?\u003c\/strong\u003e It uses an NPT thread connection for joining to hydraulic steering hose or tube fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size tubing does this fitting work with?\u003c\/strong\u003e The HF5540 is intended for use in SeaStar 2-line hydraulic steering systems built with 3\/8 inch diameter tubing or hose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the HF5540 fit SeaStar 2.4 systems and the HC5332 cylinder?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, SeaStar 2.4 hydraulic steering systems and systems using the HC5332 cylinder are among the applications this fitting size and type is used on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of the HF5540?\u003c\/strong\u003e The HF5540 measures 0.5 x 5 x 8 inches as packaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the HF5540 weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e This fitting weighs 0.16 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the HF5540 sold as a single fitting or as part of a kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is sold as a single 45 degree fitting, Manufacturer Part Number HF5540, so it can be purchased on its own rather than as part of a full hose or tube kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a genuine SeaStar part?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the HF5540 is a genuine SeaStar branded hydraulic steering fitting, not a generic aftermarket substitute.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the HF5540 fitting?\u003c\/strong\u003e The HF5540 is finished in white.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the HF5540 be used to replace a damaged or leaking fitting in an existing SeaStar steering system?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, because it is sold individually, the HF5540 can be used to replace a single damaged or leaking 45 degree fitting in a SeaStar 2-line hydraulic steering setup without replacing the entire hose or tube run.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included when I order the HF5540?\u003c\/strong\u003e You receive one SeaStar HF5540 45 degree stainless steel fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SeaStar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48989348200667,"sku":"TEL-HF5540","price":24.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/tel-hf5540__18073.1558181097.500.750.jpg?v=1785188001","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/seastar-hf5540-45-degree-hydraulic-steering-fitting-kit-stainless-steel-npt-thread-for-helm-pumps","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
