Description
Greenlee Utility Remote Control Valves are compact,
lightweight, high-pressure valves rated for a maximum
of 700 bar (10,000 psi) of hydraulic pressure. They
are intended to provide control for hydraulic tools that
operate on Open-Center hydraulic systems.
The PVA0021 is for single-acting tools and features a
3/8" coupler. The PVA0022 is for double-acting tools
and has 1/4" couplers.
These four-way valves have three operating positions:
Advance, Neutral, and Retract. A special hold feature
locks the tool in its stroke when the lever is in the
neutral position.
To reduce operator fatigue, they feature an automatic
spring-returned lever. This provides automatic shut-off
and returns the valve to neutral when the hydraulic sys-
tem's operating pressure is achieved, or when the tool is
at the end of its stroke.
For operator safety, Greenlee Utility remote control
valves include a ground dump relief valve in the valve
return circuit. This relief valve will automatically open
if the return couplers are not connected properly. The
ground dump relief pressure for each model is listed in
under Specifications.
In addition, the PVA0022 has an internal relief valve
that limits the tool retract pressure. This feature pro-
tects tools that cannot withstand a return-side pressure
greater than:
• 345 bar (5000 psi)
