BSPP question

[davedj1]

That was the first one I came upon this morning, this is one I am considering, it has free shipping. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere there was a load check in them as well.

Here is another option, it may be worth the extra money?

I just saw this post. I bought the 4 spool version of this valve on eBay and it isn't as crusty as I was expecting considering the price. Discount hydraulic hose has the BSPP-JIC adapters in stock, a bit more expensive than SAE-JIC but not bad. The pain was getting a power beyond sleeve, took 2 months to arrive from Finland. I have some projects this fall where extra remotes will be nice so hope to get it installed on my tractor in the next few months.

None of the important features such as load checks........

I do not know how important these would be on a crane but I think they would be if they are included in better loader valves

Load checks would be important to me if I were building a crane. Not having them would be a deal breaker regardless of how cheap the valve is.
