The 45° angle allows hose routing to be directed away from the helm at a controlled angle, reducing stress on hose connections and simplifying routing in tight helm station spaces where a straight fitting would create a sharp bend or clearance issue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e ORB Size #6 to 3\/8\" Compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelm Side Thread:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9\/16\"-18 UNF 2A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHose Side Thread:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9\/16\"-24 UNEF 2A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAngle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45° adjustable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e AF45 | SKU: 216-ULTAF45\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatible Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear port of Uflex UP series hydraulic steering helms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstallations where straight fittings create hose routing clearance issues or sharp bends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with Uflex \u003ca href=\"\/products\/front-mount-helm-216-up25fm\"\u003eUP25FM\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/uflex-up28fm-front-mount-helm-216-up28fm\"\u003eUP28FM\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/back-mount-helm-216-up28r\"\u003eUP28R\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/front-mount-tilt-helm-216-up25tx52\"\u003eUP25TX52\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/front-mount-tilt-helm-216-up28tx52\"\u003eUP28TX52\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/silversteer-front-mount-helm-pump-1-5-cubic-inch-216-up25fsvs\"\u003eUP25FSVS\u003c\/a\u003e, and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/silversteer-front-mount-helm-pump-2-0-cubic-inch-216-up33fsvs\"\u003eUP33FSVS\u003c\/a\u003e helms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVerify thread specs match your helm port before ordering — helm side 9\/16\"-18 UNF 2A, hose side 9\/16\"-24 UNEF 2A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eParts Desk Insights\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest Use Case:\u003c\/strong\u003e The AF45 is the right fitting when your helm station layout makes straight hose routing difficult — particularly in center consoles and walkarounds where the helm is mounted close to the dash panel and a straight fitting would force the hose into a tight bend immediately behind the helm. The 45° angle directs the hose away from the helm at a controlled angle, reducing stress on the hose and fitting over time. It’s also useful when routing hoses around other dash components where a straight fitting would create a clearance conflict. Always verify the thread specs on your helm port before ordering — the helm side (9\/16\"-18 UNF 2A) and hose side (9\/16\"-24 UNEF 2A) are different thread standards and must match your existing fittings and hose ends exactly.
