Seatech Sourced STS-RE500 is a stainless steel, PTFE-lined female rod-end ball joint. Seatech uses HP6077 as the original-part reference for this size. This listing supplies an independently sourced Seatech Sourced component, not a genuine Dometic SeaStar branded part.
Supplied individually: One rod-end ball joint. No additional mounting hardware included.
Cylinder reference guide
These factory references identify the original HP6077 rod-end position. Check the exact cylinder model and installed hardware; these references do not indicate Dometic approval of STS-RE500.
| Cylinder model | Reference and selection notes |
|---|---|
| HC5313-3 | The original manufacturer parts list identifies HP6077 at the rod-end position. |
| HC5314-3 | The standard rod-end reference is HP6077. Check whether the installation instead uses a 5/8-inch-eye HP6093 conversion. |
| HC5322-3 | HP6077 position only: item 3 in the factory parts diagram. The opposite HP6137 position uses a different thread. |
| HC5323-3 | HP6077 position only: item 3 in the factory parts diagram. The opposite HP6137 position uses a different thread. |
| HC1503-3 | Listed with HP6077 in the older manufacturer parts manual. Confirm the rod end fitted to the actual cylinder. |
Check before ordering: Both HP6077 and HP6137 have a 1/2-inch eye, but their female threads differ: 1/2-20 versus 7/16-20. STS-RE500 has the 1/2-20 thread. An HC5314-3 installation using the HP6093 conversion has a 5/8-inch eye, rather than this joint's 1/2-inch eye.

Help match the installed rod end
Check the full cylinder model, including its suffix, the rod-end position, the ball bore and the female thread. The installer must also confirm thread engagement, clearance, articulation, loads and system requirements.
