Long and extra long 90s

[Eric_Phillips]

I just bought the 3 spool valve from Bailey and need to run the hoses straight off to the side. Do the long and extra long 90s from dicount hydraulic hose give enough clearence to essentially stack the hoses? I am using 3/8" hose.

Good question.
I'm pretty sure that's what they are for.
I saw them on another valve set up and they clear.
However, I've never used them myself so what I did was buy 45 degree fittings.
You could give them a quick call to verify.

3RRL,

I agree with you about the 45's, there will be less pressure loss and heat. Of course straight line is better, but as others have noticed, it is impossible in some situations. Always have some slack in the lines, There are some hoses that can make a tighter bend.
