Small 2 spool valve

sqidget · Jan 15, 2008

Does anybody know of a 2 spool valve smaller than the cessna 5gpm?
I got the cessna valve from surplus center today. The dimensions of the valve fit the space I have with some extra room for lines, Problem is the power beyond sleeve is 1" sticking out of the valve then with a elbow it is almost 2.25" wider than it was. now it does not fit!

I only need 3 gpm to flow through the valve. Please help!
Thanks Dave

That is the most compact valve I know of, sorry

Could you post some pictures of you setup? Maybe we can make some suggestions...

Sqidet, try this outfit. Hydraulics. I browsed through their catalog while looking for the smallest 2 spool valve w/pb for my 140D, and think that the way their valves are plumbed would help keep the "footprint" as small as possible. Please post some photo's as your project progresses. Good luck.
