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.

A manifold would be nice but I wonder if there's enough meat in that
plate to tap some threads for hydraulic fittings?

Thanks, Wayne and Pete. I also think that it is a hydraulic valve. The
question is, can it drive something simple like a log splitter or a H
press. If yes, I will keep it, if not, I will toss it. Nobody wants
it, it seems.


We use one similar to it at work and we do run small hydraulic cylinders
with it. I use on once years ago for a hydraulic fixture. I don't think it
would handle the gpm's you need for a log splitter, al least if it's the
size of the ones we use. You will need a manifold though. Easy to make.

Dunno, but we're still waiting for the RCM brush pack special...
