Dometic HA5486 Purge Hose Kit, 15'

Dometic HA5486 Purge Hose Kit, 15'

The Dometic HA5486 Purge Hose Kit is a specialized 15-foot hose and valve assembly engineered for bleeding and flushing Electronic Power Steering (EPS) hydraulic systems in marine applications. Formerly marketed under the Teleflex and SeaStar Solutions brands, this kit is now part of the Dometic Marine product lineup and serves as an essential maintenance tool for servicing Optimus Series steering systems. It bridges the connection between Optimus Series Steering Pumps and SeaStar Hydraulic Steering Cylinders, enabling technicians and boat owners to purge air and flush contaminated fluid from the system with minimal effort.

The kit features quick connect fittings that attach directly to the male quick connects found on Optimus Pumps and SeaStar Cylinders, eliminating the need for adapters and reducing the risk of leaks during the bleeding process. The generous 15-foot hose length provides flexibility to accommodate a wide range of boat configurations and installation layouts. An included Return Hose Disconnect allows for controlled disposal of old or contaminated hydraulic fluid during a full system flush, keeping the service area clean and the procedure safe.

Designed for both professional marine technicians and experienced DIY boaters, this purge kit simplifies what can otherwise be a complex and time-consuming maintenance procedure. Proper purging of the EPS hydraulic system ensures consistent steering response, prevents malfunctions caused by air in the lines, and extends the overall service life of the steering components. The kit is built with materials rated for demanding marine environments and is backed by a limited warranty from Dometic.
