Application-wise, this Vickers valve is indeed designed for refuse haulers, along with harvesters and other mobile and industrial uses.

got a 12 volt system on a refuse truck, is this valve the normally open 2-way 2-position style?
Question by: Lance H on Feb 7, 2026, 8:07 PM
Function-wise, it is a 2-way, 2-position solenoid valve in a normally open style, and it is built to run on 12 volts for actuation.

got a harvester that's been chewing through solenoid valves pretty regular, does this one hold up any better with that hardened steel construction, or is it just marketing talk?
Question by: Larry H on Jun 26, 2025, 2:13 PM
Hardened and ground steel is a real difference-maker in high-cycle agricultural applications. It resists wear better than standard steel valves, which is exactly why this one gets used on harvesters in the first place. Running at up to 350 bar and 60 GPM, it's built for the kind of sustained punishment that eats up cheaper components. That said, consistent performance under load is what the design is actually targeting, not just a spec sheet checkbox.
