Title: Vickers directional control valve
Post by: 1984monte_notSS on July 02, 2005, 11:41:51 AM
this directional valve is what i think is a solenoid valve, i only have tested it connecting it to a 12v battery, it works open/close, two valves.

i still don´t have the base where you put the fittings so is incomplete

I believe you can buy these monifolds (blocks) fron www.grainger.com or www.suppluscenter.com

thanks, so you mean this can work, if they only have inlet and outlet?, once i get this manifold i can see how it really works

You can run the fluid through the valve, but I'd run a "T" off the pressure port and only dump through the valve. Then just block the other ports.

Just like hoppers do with the Adex.

Also, there are many configurations of this valve.  Yes it has four ports, but the inner valves/ports have many different disigns. If it doesn't work one way, try another way.

What is that valve rated for?

the red arrow mark indicates a 2250 psi port, the other 3 are 3000 psi

some of these are rated up to 5,000 PSI and I think I seen one at 6,000 PSI

I have a few of these and some are monsters in size. (imo)

I've had a friend rolling about 10 years on these.
He set up 4 on one pump to work like 8 dump manifold. I can draw some diagrams if anyone is interested.

Yeah, that'd be cool, anything educational that you can share...

Thats a cool solenoid!

Have you ever thought about making your own block for that beast? I bet you could find a machinist that would have no problem making one up for a few bucks... (or maybe alot of bucks)

I second the manifold setup info...

You know, that might be a good idea. Looks like another way to customize a setup.
