Hydraulic Steering connections

[Nasher]

Hi all

Under normal circumstances I’d drop into our ever helpful local Hyphose and discuss this, but working from home etc means that during normal office hours I’m tied to my computer at home doing work type stuff in a rural area rather than visiting suppliers or able to pop out for 1/2hr in the middle of an industrial estate.

Can somebody help with a spec of these Hydraulic steering connections so I can discuss it over the phone with Hyphose instead.

On the Left is the existing internal tapered connection from my Helm pump.
I know Hyphose can supply a hose to connect to these as they made the last ones 14yrs ago.
But what is it called?

On the right is what the other end of the hose needs to connect to on the Mercury steering ram supplied with my ‘new to me’ 225 Opti.
It’s obviously an ‘O’ ring type connection usually used in power steering systems, but will of course be OK used with a manual pump.
Does anyone know the spec or ‘name’ of this?
Or if the other half is commercially available rather than have to go through a Mercury dealer.

I’d obviously like to use what I’ve got than start changing things around.

Thanks

Nasher.

the threads are 1/8 npt I had difficulty getting them from my usual supplier but they did come up trumps I done away with the plastic olive style hoses and changed them to a conventional 2sh hydraulic hose also made them a jic size as npt is American thread its easier to go to jic in stainless

the tee connection is an orfs style very common on cat excavators etc uses a unf thread size any hose supplier will recognise them that looks like 9/16 or 11/16 measure across the threads to get the proper size

I took a chance and bought a complete system without engine end from poland ,was a floorless transaction at bargain prices and all perfect new stuff ,just look at the price of the oil !!! he guided me to the right hoses which i have here but mine dont have the face seal on one end ,but mine were not mercruser , worth a look small currency charge ,delivery was dpd three days ,my expierience couldnt have been better

Many Thanks Breezeblock, Orwell Boy

That give me a good start.

I remember getting the originals in Stainless caused a short delay all those years ago, but wasn't too bad.
