Uflex KITOBDBR-02' Hydraulic Steering Hose Kit with Dual Bend Restrictor, 2 Feet
The Uflex KITOBDBR-02' is a hydraulic steering hose kit fitted with a dual bend restrictor, measuring 2 feet in length. It is designed for hydraulic boat steering systems, where hose runs between the helm pump and the steering cylinder must be protected from kinking or excessive bending at connection points. The dual bend restrictor design supports the hose at both ends of the run, helping the line maintain a consistent bend radius and reducing stress on hydraulic fittings during installation and operation.
This kit is one length option in a family of Uflex hose kits with dual bend restrictors, which are also offered in 2.5 foot, 3 foot, 4 foot, and 5 foot lengths, allowing installers to match the hose run to the specific helm-to-cylinder distance on a given boat. Selecting the correct length kit helps avoid excess slack or hose strain in the steering system.
The KITOBDBR-02' weighs 1.9 pounds as supplied. It is intended for use as part of a hydraulic steering installation or as a replacement hose kit when servicing an existing hydraulic steering system.
