Uflex90° Adjustable Fitting f/Back of UP Series Helms ORB 6 to 3/8" COMP

The Uflex 90° Adjustable Fitting for Back of UP Series Helms (Model AF90) is a precision marine steering component designed for optimal helm control and hose routing flexibility. This ORB (O-ring boss) fitting accommodates size #6 to 3/8" compensator connections, making it an essential replacement or upgrade part for Uflex UP series steering helms used in recreational and commercial marine applications.

The 90-degree angle design enables adaptive hose runs along the helm back without sharp bends that can compromise line integrity or hydraulic flow. Thread specifications are precisely engineered: the helm side features 9/16 - 18 UNF 2A threading, while the hose side employs 9/16 - 24 UNEF 2A for secure, leak-free connections. These matched thread standards ensure compatibility with original Uflex UP series equipment and maintain the pressure ratings required for responsive steering on vessels of various sizes. The compact footprint (1" × 1" × 2") and minimal weight (0.1 lbs) allow straightforward installation in space-constrained helm enclosures.

This fitting is ideal for boat owners, marine technicians, and fleet operators who maintain Uflex UP series hydraulic steering systems. Whether replacing a corroded fitting in a saltwater environment, upgrading an aging helm installation, or customizing hose routes during system refurbishment, this adjustable fitting provides the angular flexibility and dependable brass construction that modern marine steering demands. Backed by Uflex USA's reputation for steering precision, the AF90 is a critical component for maintaining smooth, responsive helm control across freshwater and saltwater service conditions.
