      Helpful?

  3. Will this valve work to select between two double acting cylinders?

    1 answer

    1. Yes, the Metro Machine Selector Valve (Model 2071) is designed to work with two double-acting cylinders. It is a 6-port double selector valve that diverts hydraulic fluid to two separate circuits, allowing you to operate two double-acting cylinders with one valve.

      Helpful?

  4. Which ports are P and T?

    1 answer

    1. The top two ports pictured are the pump and tank ports. They are interchangeable based on user preference. In most cases a directional control valve will be used before this selector valve so these ports will change based on the flow condition of the directional control valve to extend or retract a cylinder.

      Helpful?

  5. Can the valve be used with coolant?

    I want to use this with coolant instead of hydraulic oil. The coolant will have a rust inhibitor. Is there any reason that the valve might leak/etc?

    1 answer

    1. The valve has not been tested for use with coolant. The seals are made for use with oil.

      Helpful?

  6. Can fluid flow in either direction?

    Is there any check valve or is the connection between the ports just open?

    1 answer

    1. The selector valve does not have a check valve. The fluid can flow in either direction.

      Helpful?

  7. can you hook two pumps up to run one motor

    using one or the other pumps

    1 answer

    1. This selector valve would only allow for the use of a single input, or pump. It can divert flow to one of two outputs based on the location of the selector spool.

      Helpful?

  8. Does switch maintain pressure?

    If using 2 cylinders, can I apply pressure in cylinder 1, then switch to cylinder 2 and apply pressure, without losing the pressure in cylinder 1?

    1 answer

    1. The Metro Machine Selector Valve will hold cylinder in position until that circuit is again selected and control valve positioned for flow movement.

      Helpful?

  9. which are pressure ports?

    need plumbing layout for which ports do what

    1 answer

    1. The top two holes are the pressure ports. The four holes on the sides connect to the cylinders.

      Helpful?

  10. Are there replacement seals/parts available for this valve?

    1 answer

    1. For replacement parts you would need to contact our parts department at 800-222-5381 option 3
