Husco Valve port type question

[/pine]

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

Yes, you can add tee's as necessary to keep the hoses routing simple on the return/tank hoses .
