Product Details

The Uflex 171CA-6-4 is a precision-engineered male run tee fitting designed for marine hydraulic steering systems. This brass compression fitting creates a reliable branch connection, allowing you to connect a 1/4" NPT female port device (such as a helm pump) to your hydraulic hose lines while maintaining continuous flow through the main run.

Key Specifications:

  • Configuration: 3/8" tube x 3/8" tube x 1/4" NPT male
  • Helm side connection: 1/4" NPT male threads
  • Hose side connections: 9/16"-24 UNEF 2A compression threads
  • Material: Marine-grade brass construction
  • Compatible with 3/8" OD hydraulic tubing

Typical Application:

This tee fitting is commonly used in marine steering systems to connect helm pumps or other accessories with 1/4" NPT female ports to Uflex hydraulic hoses. The run-through design maintains full flow to the primary steering components while providing a secure branch connection. Ideal for both new installations and retrofit applications on boats, yachts, and other marine vessels.

The compression-style connections on the tube sides provide leak-free performance without the need for flaring, while the NPT threads ensure a secure, sealed connection to helm-side components.
