Uflex KITOB-16' Hydraulic Hose Kit, 16 Feet, for Hyco and ProTech Steering Systems, Black

The Uflex KITOB-16' Hydraulic Hose Kit supplies a matched pair of high-pressure flexible hydraulic hoses for Hyco and ProTech hydraulic steering systems. Each hose is pre-assembled with fittings and bend restrictors on both ends, so the kit is ready to route and connect without needing to fabricate or crimp fittings on site. The bend restrictors protect the hose ends from kinking or excessive flex at the connection points, a common failure area in hydraulic steering runs that see repeated helm-to-cylinder movement. At 16 feet in length, the hoses are sized for longer steering runs from the helm pump to the outboard or sterndrive steering cylinder. The hose material is black, low-permeation construction intended for marine hydraulic steering fluid service. Uflex is a manufacturer of steering and control systems for the marine industry, and its components are used as original equipment on numerous boat brands. This kit is intended as a matched replacement pair for Hyco and ProTech hydraulic steering systems where the existing hoses have failed, are leaking, or need to be extended or replaced as part of a steering system rebuild.
