#6 to 5/8in-18 Male Inv Flr Stl Pwr Steering Adp

The #6 to 5/8in-18 Male Inv Flr Stl Pwr Steering Adp is a precision hydraulic adapter engineered for marine power steering systems where reliable pressure line connections are non-negotiable. This straight adapter converts AN male fittings to inverted flare male connections, making it an essential component for boaters, marine technicians, and off-road enthusiasts who demand leak-free performance under load. Built to XRP-XTREME RACING PROD. specifications, this adapter bridges incompatible hydraulic line standards without sacrificing safety or durability on the water.

Manufactured from steel with a zinc oxide finish, the #6 to 5/8in-18 Male Inv Flr Stl Pwr Steering Adp resists corrosion in saltwater and freshwater environments while maintaining structural integrity under hydraulic pressure. The inverted flare design creates a positive seat that prevents seepage at the connection point—critical when steering responsiveness depends on consistent pressure delivery. Its compact 2.7 x 1.25 x 3.95 inch footprint and minimal 0.09 lb weight allow for installation in tight engine compartments without adding bulk or requiring reinforcement brackets.

Marine mechanics, performance boat builders, and recreational boaters seeking to upgrade or repair hydraulic steering systems will find this adapter indispensable for connecting modern AN hose assemblies to legacy or custom 5/8-18 male inverted flare ports. Compatibility spans inboard power steering cylinders, trim and tilt systems, and specialized marine hydraulic applications where standard straight adapters are required. Installation is straightforward—hand-tighten initially, then use appropriate wrenches to secure both ends, ensuring the inverted flare seats fully without over-torqueing.
