Diverter - Mounting

[aeblank]

Do you know the hole-to-hole distance on that valve? Can it swing a 90 in both fittings?

That valve will work just fine, and Brian has the best price hands down on it :thumbsup:

The only "problem" (IMHO) with it is that hoses exit it on three sides so it does make mounting a bit more difficult depending on the situation, but otherwise its a good valve.

Brian, is a Hirschmann connector included for that price? They used to be extra at the Surplus Center, but it looks like its included now.

Kenny,
That valve works well and a neat installation can be had with 90 degree swivel fittings. It works great on my installation.
hugs, Brandi

Could you do those 90s without the extensions? Sure doesn't look like it.

No, the 90s would hit each other then.

That's what I figured. Good to know. Best to have no surprises. Thanks.

Thanks Brandi, I know it works well-its a good, compact dvalve-I was just pointing out the the ports are on three sides as apposed to two and that could make a difference in some installations.. I didn't mean to sound like I was bashing it (or Brian).

The other DValves from the Surplus Center (5117-A and the 9-5117) that are frequently mentioned on the forum have ports both front and back, making mounting difficult also.

I just want people to be informed about the different choices available, sometimes "least cost" is not necessarily "best cost".

Here are a few answers for you guys.

Yes the connector comes with the valve.

No 90s will not fit into the $112 valve that we are talking about. Yes they can be made to fit, this = more $$$ though.

The centerline distance on the $112 valve is 1&7/16". The ports are #8 ORB. My recommendation is to go with a male #8ORB - male #6JIC and go from there with what you need.

Brandy, you have a Bosch valve, that is a different animal than the valve that Aceblank is considering. Your valve is currently $224 shipped.

Yes with the Bosch valve std short 90s will fit side by side if you use the right fittings. The Bosch port - port dimension is 1& 9/16".

All of these valves will work fine for most of us. If someone uses their equipment commercially putting a 1000 hours a year or more, then you need to check into what valve will last longer, but for most of us, any of them will do what we want them to do. :thumbsup:

Thanks for the info Brian. Do you sell fittings too (I'm sure you do)? Maybe I'll take a stab at what I'll need and get it all at once. I'm assuming you'll be cheaper than my nearby parker store. I think an ORB is what I would call an "SAE" Straight thread, with oring. Does that sound right?

Does anyone know what fittings/hoses my loader has? I'm assuming they're about 1/2" JIC, but I don't even know.

Maybe I'll take the rest offline with Brian. I'll get a diagram of some sort put together to show what I'm thinking.

Kenny,
No problem. Don't worry about Brian. Remember, he once was Michael Jackson's neighbor.

Uhh.......I thought he mentioned a valve with fittings on all 3 sides similiar to mine? Anyway, the link I showed in my thread for my valve says it's not found. I can't believe my valve is $80 more now.
