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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uflex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e KITOB-16'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.4 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pair of hoses (2 hoses per kit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnds:\u003c\/strong\u003e Preassembled fittings and bend restrictors on both ends of each hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 702755015925\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHyco hydraulic steering systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProTech hydraulic steering systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included in the Uflex KITOB-16' kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The KITOB-16' kit includes a pair of high-pressure flexible hydraulic hoses, each 16 feet long, with fittings and bend restrictors already assembled on both ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat steering systems does the KITOB-16' fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e This hose kit is designed for Hyco and ProTech hydraulic steering systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long are the hoses in this kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e Each of the two hoses in the KITOB-16' kit is 16 feet long.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo the hoses come with fittings already installed?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, both hoses in the Uflex KITOB-16' kit are supplied with fittings and bend restrictors preassembled on both ends, so no additional crimping or fitting installation is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color are the hoses?\u003c\/strong\u003e The hoses in the KITOB-16' kit are black.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the KITOB-16' hose kit weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The kit weighs 3.4 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a bend restrictor used for on these hoses?\u003c\/strong\u003e Bend restrictors are fitted at both ends of each KITOB-16' hose to prevent the hose from kinking or over-flexing right at the fitting connection, which is where hydraulic hoses are most prone to fatigue and failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this kit sold as a single hose or a pair?\u003c\/strong\u003e The KITOB-16' is sold as a matched pair of two hydraulic hoses, not a single hose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho manufactures this hydraulic hose kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The KITOB-16' hose kit is manufactured by Uflex, a maker of marine steering and control systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this kit be used to extend or replace existing steering hoses?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the KITOB-16' pair is intended as a replacement or extension set for the hydraulic hoses on Hyco and ProTech steering systems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Uflex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991092343003,"sku":"UFX-KITOB-16","price":174.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/51aQv57TX4L_c29b626f-fd19-4326-a165-133f5bf8d10d.jpg?v=1784491392","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/uflex-kitob-16-hydraulic-steering-hose-kit-16-ft-pair-with-fittings-and-bend-restrictors-for-hyco-and-protech-black","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
