which port has the detent
Is the detent on the A port or the B port? Is it the port closest to the handle or the one away from the handle?

Handle 'up or down'
It says that the handle can be installed in the Up or Down position...in order to configure it to my present splitter, I need to install the valve upside down so I am assuming that isn't a problem? Looking at the diagram, I can't figure out how the handle can be switched around...if it CAN be installed that way, I'm gonna order one ASAP ...Thanks

ProductExpert37· 10 years ago
This unit can be installed upside down. You can also rotate the handle. If you rotate the handle then the operation of the unit will be reversed. In this case you will have to change your lines to make the detent pressure release function the opposite way.

Does the 1/2" port (A?) nearest the handle connect to the piston end of the cylinder and the "OUT" 3/4" port return the fluid back to the reservoir?
-
graywolf8· 10 years ago
Yes, the A port goes to piston end: the B port (away from handle) is the detent piston return line. And yes, the 3/4" port returns fluid to reservoir.
Helpful?
-
ProductExpert35· 13 years ago
Port A (1/2") extends to the base or fixed end of the cylinder. The 3/4" In and Out Ports attach to the pump. The 3/4" out port returns fluid to the reservoir or tank.
