Product Questions & Answers

got a -05 marine steering hose here. is this the straight brass crimp fitting that’ll match a 5/8-18 female flare swivel?

Question by: Johnny B on Jul 22, 2025, 3:54 PM

For a -05 hose, this fitting is set up as a straight brass crimp end with a 5/8-18 female SAE 45 degree flare swivel, so the thread and hose size match what you described.

does this fitting work without any thread sealant or do I need to tape it up before putting it on?

Question by: Rod B on Mar 10, 2026, 9:04 AM

No sealant or tape needed on this one. The 5/8-18 female SAE 45-degree flare swivel connection seals through the flare itself, so you can skip the tape and still get a solid, leak-free joint. Same goes for a mandrel, you won't need one for installation either.

Will this fitting hold up okay in saltwater?

Question by: Stan T on Jan 6, 2026, 9:42 AM

Brass is generally durable and resistant to corrosion, which is essential for marine applications, so it should be suitable for saltwater environments.
