Power Steering Hoses
ALUMINUM PUMP www.krcpower.2115 BARRETT PARK Aluminum
ALUMINUM Things we all need to know and do when it comes to power steering:
1. Clean your system before you install your rack and pinion and your pump, reservoir and hoses.
Contamination will kill your steering and cost you $$$.
2. After installation, do not start or crank your engine until you fill the system with high grade
power steering fluid (do not use transmission fluid). We recommend KRC power steering fluid.
3. Follow instructions to bleed your system to remove all of the air.

Power steering pumps require a hose with a vacuum rating of 28

INCHES/HG on the inlet side, and a minimum ½”inside diameter.
going to Integral Reservoir Pump
This is required to keep the hose from collapsing at higher RPMs.
As seen in Photo 1 to the left, common hydraulic hose may have a
-10 fitting on them, but the inside diameter is smaller than -6 (.265”). This will damage the pump because there is no
way for the pump to intake enough fluid to meet its requirement through such a small hole.
Push-lock hose may be the proper inside diameter, but the vacuum rating is only 18 INCHES/MG. As the fluid warms
up, this rating actually goes down. Push-lock hose will suck shut anywhere there is a bend in it, starving the pump of
fluid and can cause severe damage to the internals of the pump. See Photo 2.
The -6 pressure hose, leaving the pump, must have an operating pressure of 2,250 psi. and an inside diameter of
.31”. Common hydraulic hose may have the proper operating range, but their inside diameter is slightly smaller.
See Photo 3. The smaller diameter can restrict the flow to the
steering gear. This can cause problems in your steering, such as
tight spots in the turns and increased driver effort.
Also make sure the -10 feed line from the reservoir tank, remote
tanks only, has a ½” inside diameter. Some companies have been
importing tanks to the U.S. that have a 3/8” inside diameter. This
will restrict flow to the pump and will damage the pump within a
few races.
