Uflex Brass Compression Nut w/Sleeve #61CA-6

The Uflex Brass Compression Nut w/Sleeve #61CA-6 provides a reliable and leak-proof connection for marine hydraulic steering systems using nylon tubing. Designed for boaters and technicians looking to buy high-performance hardware, this fitting ensures a secure seal in demanding environments. By utilizing a compression-style design, it allows for precise tube length adjustments during installation or maintenance. Whether you are performing a new setup or a quick repair, this component is essential for maintaining hydraulic integrity.

Constructed from durable brass, the Uflex Brass Compression Nut w/Sleeve #61CA-6 features a 9/16 - 24 UNEF 2B fitting side to interface seamlessly with standard hydraulic ports. The hose side is specifically engineered for a 3/8-inch compression ferrule, which creates a mechanical grip on nylon tubing when tightened. This dual-component system distributes pressure evenly around the tube circumference to prevent leaks under high hydraulic loads. The precision machining ensures that the threads engage smoothly, reducing the risk of cross-threading during critical assembly.

This fitting is ideal for users working with cut-to-length nylon tubing where custom hose lengths are required for clean routing. Review the specifications to confirm compatibility with your existing Uflex or Teleflex hydraulic steering helm and cylinder ports. Because it is a small, lightweight component, keeping spares on hand is a smart practice for offshore vessel maintenance. Once installed, the Uflex Brass Compression Nut w/Sleeve #61CA-6 provides the peace of mind needed for safe and responsive vessel maneuvering.
