3/8" compression 90 degree elbow for hyd steering

I need to turn 90 degrees off this bulkhead fitting and connect to my steering hoses. 3/8 compression. I cannot find a 90 degree compression to compression elbow.
Any help?

Personally, I have never seen what you are looking for. You can get a 90 degree tube to tube double male and use a short piece of 3/8" copper tube (or stainless tube if you can find some) between the bulkhead fitting and elbow.

Best bet would be to have a hydraulic hose guy put elbow fittings on the hoses.

I know but I already ran the damn hoses and really dont want to pull them back out. Maybe I could take the whole boat over to a hose shop if they can do it that way.

They may have reusable fittings that will just screw on.............

Parker makes a screw in comp fitting in 90 I believe. Gotta go to a parker store though. May even make a swivel pc.

That’s a SeaStar plastic/Kevlar hose with machine installed O ring end.
You need a reducing coupling 3/8 to 1/4 and use the SeaStar 90* with 1/4 pipe thread on one end or the HF 6400 ORB fitting.

The bulkhead fitting is a 3/8" tube; same as the 3/8" tubing fitting that uses a ferrule. SeaStar uses the o-ring fitting for the hose. He simply needs a 90 degree fitting to replace what's on the hose or go with the way I described in post #5. Better to go with new fittings on the hoses than to add multiple fittings and have more chance of a leak.

I see it! Seastar fittings are all O ring. Sure less is better but I believe Seastar does not have a 90* for the hose end and since is their fittings probably the only one that would be able to install for security/safety reasons if they did.
The other option is use a Seastar bulk head setup with 90* ends.

I rerouted the hoses. All done.
Thanks
