Uflex T-Fitting Assembly  - ORF Hose

The Uflex T-Fitting Assembly with ORF hose connection is engineered as a replacement boss fitting for outboard engine cylinders when integrating O-ring face seal hose systems. This dual-threaded adapter allows seamless transition from cylinder-side ports to hydraulic hose assemblies, making it essential for anyone upgrading or repairing fuel and fluid lines on marine powerheads. Uflex USA's precision engineering ensures compatibility across multiple outboard platforms without sacrificing reliability in salt-water environments.

The assembly features an ORB (O-ring boss) Size #6 connection paired with two distinct thread profiles: a 9/16-18 UNF 2A thread on the cylinder side and a 9/16-24 UNEF 2A thread on the hose side. These specifications enable the fitting to mate directly with new outboard cylinders while accepting standard 3/8-inch compression hose connections. The precision threading prevents leaks under pressure—critical for fuel delivery systems and hydraulic trim/tilt circuits where even minor seepage compromises performance and safety.

This fitting addresses a common challenge for boaters performing engine maintenance or upgrades: connecting legacy cylinder ports to modern O-ring face seal hose standards without fabricating custom adapters. Weekend fishermen refreshing aging fuel systems and serious offshore operators maintaining high-horsepower outboards both rely on components like this to restore proper flow and eliminate pressure loss. The compact 4-inch assembly weighs just 0.2 pounds, fitting easily into tight engine bay spaces without adding bulk.

Uflex USA specializes in marine hydraulic and fuel system components, and this T-fitting exemplifies their focus on exact OEM compatibility and corrosion resistance. Whether you're restoring original equipment integrity or upgrading to better sealing standards, this adapter provides the precise mechanical interface required for dependable outboard operation in demanding saltwater and freshwater conditions.
