Uflex LTB1 Liquid Tie Bar for UP Series Pumps

The Uflex LTB1 liquid tie bar is designed for compatible Uflex UP-series hydraulic steering pumps in multi-engine applications. Instead of relying on a conventional mechanical tie bar between engines, the hydraulic arrangement coordinates steering movement through the connected steering circuit when configured with the correct components.

A liquid tie-bar setup can simplify the physical linkage around closely spaced engines and gives installers another way to synchronize steering movement in supported configurations. Correct hydraulic plumbing and matched steering components are essential because the tie-bar function depends on controlled fluid movement between the cylinders and helm system.

Confirm the number and type of engines, steering cylinders, UP-series pump compatibility, plumbing diagram, hose and fitting requirements, and application approval before installation. Follow the Uflex multi-engine steering schematic exactly, bleed the complete system thoroughly, inspect for leaks, and verify synchronized lock-to-lock movement before operation.

• The hydraulic tie-bar arrangement synchronizes steering movement without a conventional mechanical link.
• The LTB1 is specifically intended for compatible UP steering systems.
• Hydraulic coordination can simplify supported multi-engine transom layouts.
• Correct cylinders, hoses, fittings, and plumbing are essential to proper operation.
