Husco Valve port type question

/pine · Feb 25, 2010

I have a mid '90's HUSCO FEL valve...can anyone offer an educated/experienced guess at what thread type the inlet/outlet and PB ports are? ORB, NTP?

No clue. Can you at least post some pictures?

Sorry, I thought maybe all HUSCO valves were the same...
I won't be in GA (where tractor is) for another month or so but I do have some pics...

I am trying to accumulate as many of the fittings/adapters that I will need while I'm waiting on Spring and while I'm close to several hydraulic shops including a Goodyear hose and hydraulic shop.

Pics are worth a thousand words:thumbsup:

They look like ORB's because of the locknut at the base of the fitting, NPT's would just have threads there. Probably -6 (3/8") sized, but you will need to measure them to be sure.

This is a three spool Husco valve, and it has straight thread o-ring ports.

In port and outlet port could have different size.

OK that's great to ID them as ORB...thanks...

anyone care to guess at the size ? #8 maybe?

thanks

The Husco valve on my Kubota B2400 with a L351 loader has -6 ORB ports.

Another question about re-plumbing the above valve...
I will be adding a single spool valve with PB coming off the PB on the above mentioned valve...
Can I attach a 'T' where the (current) return line connects to the valve...then connect the existing return as well as the one from the new valve?

The Husco valve on my Kubota B2400 with a L351 loader has -6 ORB ports.

Thanks for the confirmation...that information along with Kenny and JJ's observations it could save me a heck of a lot of time plus a lot of miles tracking them (ORB fittings) once I'm in the hills...

There is a brand new TSC store about 30 miles away but having a few #6 ORB connectors with me will be a big advantage...

Normally I would ask if all the ports are the same size...as some valves have larger inlet/outlet ports than the working ports by one size...but since I already have a stock of #8 ORB fittings I should be OK if that is the case with my valve...

Thanks for the reply
