Solenoid Valve

[Sfrankland]

Seen this solenoid valve on sale and was wondering if I would be able to control two independent functions at the same time. I know very little about hydraulics and felt it was best to ask before I bought it.

What do you want to use this for? This valve would normally be used to control a double acting cylinder or a bidirectional motor. It is not a flow divider or flow diverter valve. This style valve work best when you have flow going through all of the ports. I.e. Pressure Port 3 to port 4 - Port 2 to tank-port 1.

I am looking at adding a front remote for a grapple and a ram to unlock my SSQA. I am also looking at a rear remote for a thumb and a tilting ditching bucket.

That valve would work for operating the functions you are describing. All of them are double acting cylinder functions.
