Uflex USA T-Fitting Nickel

The Uflex USA 71955T is a Boss Style T-Fitting finished in nickel for marine hydraulic steering systems. It connects an ORB size 6 port to a 3/8 inch compression fitting at the back of a helm station. The part suits dual-station installations where a reliable junction is required.

Thread specification and sealing

The cylinder or helm side uses a 9/16 - 18 UNF 2A thread while the hose side uses a 9/16 - 24 UNEF 2A thread. Both threads are straight and rely on an O-ring or compression seal rather than taper engagement. The nickel plating resists corrosion in saltwater environments.

ORB 6 to 3/8 COMP configuration

This fitting only joins an ORB 6 port to a 3/8 inch compression hose end; it will not mate with other ORB sizes, NPT ports or metric threads. Buyers needing a different port size or thread type must select another fitting.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 9/16 - 18 UNF 2A cylinder/helm side correctly?

Thread the ORB #6 end into the helm port using a wrench on the hex flats, then torque to the helm manufacturer's specification; the common error is cross-threading the fine 18 TPI threads by starting at an angle.

What maintenance will the nickel-plated T-fitting need over time?

Inspect the 9/16 - 24 UNEF 2A hose nut and ORB seal annually for salt corrosion or weeping; replace the fitting if the nickel finish shows pitting or the threads gall during disassembly.

Which pressure limit appears first during sustained high-load steering?

The 3/8 COMP hose connection typically reaches its pressure rating before the ORB #6 helm port, so monitor hose-end leakage during extended hard-over manoeuvres.
