With these cartridge style valves a coil slides over the stem and inside the stem there is a spool that slides inside that part of the valve. If the valve does not "latch" or shift all the way from dirt or being hit and slightly bent it will destroy the coil in short order. A lot of times the vendor will blame the valve in this situation. My guess is the coils were burning up and they blame this on the valves being too small?? A valve being too small will cause 2 heat sources, one at the valve because of the restriction and possibly if it is restricted enough it will cause the relief to open and that is a huge heat generator. If there is any way possible I try to stay away from the "poppet" style cartridge valves for anything with higher GPM flows. But sometimes space is a big consideration and these can be a huge space saver. Anyway it is all good! CJ
