Triple solenoid valve

[Bigshooter81]

Looking for a triple solenoid valve to split my factory remote. Thanks.

So you want this?

 

[Bigshooter81]

Yep!..

Actually only would need a normally open and two momentaries..

So you have a control valve that you would use along with these? Why have one with a maintained switch at all? Typically better to have all momentary switches. Just trying to understand the application.

Right now I have a single factory remote. I would like all three to be controlled by the same valve, I just need a selector solenoid to toggle between three remote lines.

I figured one would be default open, the other two momentaries?

The terms for hydraulics could not be more confusing. Unlike electrical switches. You know exactly what a SPDT Momentary switch is. What the **** is a three way valve? Just because it has three holes! I call that two way.

How many sets of rear remotes do you want-need? Sounds like only 3?? With 3 diverters, you will have 4 separate sets of remote outlets to use. Look at my earlier posted picture. 1 factory rear remote and 3 added by the triple diverter bank. The far right side is the default set of outlets and the other 3 all have a separate momentary switches to activate them.

You can see the gray control grip on the factory rear remote lever in this picture. 2 thumb switches and a single trigger switch. All are momentary switches.

So to have three total remotes i only need a double solenoid?

Correct. You have your single factory Kubota set and then using that single set connected to a double diverter set, you will then have 3 sets for use. The factory set gets connected on the left side and the default outlets are the far right side set. Then each diverter is the second and third set. Simple and efficient, but I'm not so sure that by the time you're done it will be all that much less $$$ than just adding the factory 2nd and 3rd set. I suppose you can shop and cut some corners and get it done for less, all depends on what you will be satisfied with.

Might be similar in cost yes, but i really like the idea of one control. The double solenoids from surplus center are fairly reasonable and a double gang momentary knob is as well.

Sounds like you're all set then. :thumbsup:

I'm looking at these double solenoid mechanical drawings and still failing to understand how i can get three remotes using s double selector valve?

So based on how ever it is that you are thinking, a single diverter does nothing. You have a single rear remote, add a single diverter and you still have a single rear remote???

Trust me, I work with this stuff every day, a double set of diverters gets you a total of 3 sets of rear remotes.

Again, look at the picture, 3 diverters, but 4 sets of couplers. The far right side set is the default set. Don't touch any switch and that is the set of couplers that operate when you move the rear remote lever. Actuate a diverter and that diverters couplers are the ones that have the remote valve flow when you operate the remotes lever.

I think that you are getting electric over hydraulic confused with a diverter. 2 completely different types of valves. Are you looking at this valve? This is the valve that you want if you are going to stack these together to get what you are looking for.

 

[Bigshooter81]

Yes, that's the one... how does the input from the factory valve bypass the two diverted when using the "main" circuit allowing it to be the default? How do the diverters close the main when they are the operational circuits?

Thanks for you help also.

The diverter is a spool valve. Fluid flows directly through it from left to right when the factory set is used . Actuate the diverter and it does just that, diverts the flow to the different ports.(front ports)

Again, you have a single rear remote valve with the control lever just to the right side of the seat, but behind the 3pt lever with 2 female outlets at the rear of the tractor?, not a power beyond loop, yes? :confused3:

Think of the main remote as a train track, this flow goes straight through the mountain. (diverter valve) But once in awhile the train needs to make a detour in the mountain on a siding that comes out at a different location of the mountain. This is accomplished by moving the siding switch(diverter valve and the secondary set of remotes) By stacking the valves together, they still work the same, straight through with no valve activation, but now you have 2 sidings in the mountain.

Sorry, but I just don't know how else to explain this.

 

[Bigshooter81]

All of the above is correct... but when I open the part diagram it only shows 2 cylinders operating..... in my mind, the two factory remote lines go into the diverter.... and there should be three pairs exiting... or a total of 8 orifices.... I see only 6?

 

[Bigshooter81]

Wait... I thinknow I got it... if I wanted 2 I would only need one diverter.... I need to stack 2 diverters to get 3 remotes.... correct?

 

[MtnViewRanch]

Correct. :thumbsup:

Out of curiosity, what are your plans for the control grip?

Thanks again for all your help!

Bailey has the diverters also, same unit.
