Does anyone know what the pressure is in the return side of the power steering pump and box?

Thanks!

I don't know that there is a spec but it is minimal, hence the use of bulk hose and regular clamps vs. crimped hoses and threade fittings.

Very low, less than 50 psi with full flow returning to the pump reservoir. Don't kink the return line or you could build higher pressures.

Thanks, I am going to use a single flare to 6an fitting on it.
