Product Description
Improve steering system performance and flow control with the PSC SF23 Flow Control Fitting for P Pump – 6AN x 0.160. This precision-machined fitting converts a standard Saginaw P-Series power steering pump outlet to a -6AN male connection while optimizing hydraulic flow for performance steering systems. The PSC SF23 features a calibrated 0.160" orifice designed to maintain proper pressure while allowing improved flow characteristics for hydraulic assist steering setups and high-performance off-road vehicles. This flow correction fitting helps maintain proper hydraulic pressure while allowing approximately 4.5 GPM at 3000 RPM without negatively affecting low-idle steering performance. It is a common upgrade for off-road trucks, rock crawlers, Jeep builds, and performance diesel trucks running hydraulic steering assist systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the PSC SF23 flow control fitting do?
The PSC SF23 regulates hydraulic flow inside the power steering pump outlet while converting the pump connection to a -6AN fitting, allowing proper pressure and flow for performance steering systems.
What pumps does the PSC SF23 fit?
This fitting is designed specifically for Saginaw P-Series power steering pumps commonly used in off-road, racing, and performance steering applications.
Will the SF23 affect steering performance at idle?
No. The calibrated orifice maintains appropriate pressure while still allowing higher flow rates at higher RPM levels, ensuring consistent steering performance.
Is this fitting required for hydraulic assist steering?
While not always required, many hydraulic assist steering setups benefit from flow-controlled fittings like the SF23 to maintain proper pump pressure and steering responsiveness.
What type of steering hoses does it support?
The fitting converts the pump outlet to a -6AN male connection, allowing the use of AN hydraulic steering hoses commonly used in off-road and performance steering systems.
