project ideas for a small electric control valve?

nsmithnd · Nov 28, 2012

Saw an ad for a used Eaton electric control valve.
It is listed as an Eaton 5 gpm electric (12 volt) for $75.

Curious what kind of project a person might build around it?

Looks like a three section directional control valve. It will function similar to manual operated valves except these are full on or full off. Without knowing what type of spools these are it would be difficult to know what they would do.

You can use air to determine if the valve is open center or closed center.

Are there any numbers on the valve?

This looks like a newer model of that valve.
