Here's a hydraulic valve that I have, I am not sure what it does.

It is not for sale, despite what the webpage says. (could not sell it)
so this post is not spam.

I would like to know what it can be used for, does it look like it can
be used for some regular application?


What Tom said except that I bet it's a air valve instead of a
hydraulic valve. It will require a manifold for mounting (thus it will
cost money to use).


If his listing of the markings are correct it is most likely hydraulic.
He indicates the markings include "Ret" as in return to hydraulic tank
vs. "Exh" as in exhaust air to atmosphere. Air valves are normally
marked Exhaust, not return since you don't generally return air to the
compressor.


Good point. I didn't look that close at all the pics. I was going by
the brand name which I've only seen air valves of that brand.
