Questions

1–10 of 24 Questions  
Sort by:

  1. 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?

    1. Port B, the port away from the handle, is the detent piston return line. Port A, closest to the handle, would be connected to the piston end of the cylinder.

      Helpful?

    2. The port farthest from the handle.

      Helpful?

    3. I'm thinking it's the B port, furthest from handle.

      Helpful?

  2. Two way splitter

    I have a splitter that will split both ways, will this valve allow this...split one way after stroke go to center...then move the handle the opposite direction to split on the back stroke and after the cycle finishes come back to center.

    1. No, this is designed for one way.

      Helpful?

    2. This valve will only work with splitting in one direction.

      Helpful?

  3. 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

    1. 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.

      Helpful?

    2. Yes, it can be installed either way.

      Helpful?

  4. 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?

    1. 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?

    2. 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.

      Helpful?

  5. does the log splitter valve come with the handle

    1. Yes

      Helpful?

    2. Yes this Prince valve does include the handle.

  9. Is this a double detent valve? How many GPM? Do you have a double detent valve?

    1 answer

    1. This would not be a double detent valve. It is rated at 25 GPM. Northern Tool does not offer a double detent valve.

      Helpful?

  10. Can you give me the Distance center to center of the 1/2" working ports. thank you.
