Capilano Steering Hose

Capilano Steering Hose is recommend if hose must be used instead of soft refrigeration type copper tubing. Hydraulic hose that expands too much will make the steering spongy. Steering systems installed with copper tubing require short lengths of flexible hose to accommodate cylinder movement.

Hoses are supplied with 1/2” SAE Flare nuts on each end.

Recommended copper tube sizes:

12.2m or less / More than 12.2m / Model
