Selector Valve FAQs
What is a Selector Valve?
A selector valve is a hydraulic control valve used to direct fluid flow between two or more circuits. Common types include 2-way, 3-way, and wheel selector designs.
How Does a Selector Valve Work?
A selector valve works by routing hydraulic fluid to different circuits through a spool or internal mechanism. The operator can change the selected circuit manually or hydraulically, depending on the model.
What Industries Commonly Use Selector Valves?
Selector valves are widely used in industries such as agriculture for tractor and implement hydraulics, construction for loaders, lifts, and machinery, and marine and shipbuilding for steering, winches, and deck equipment.
What Port Options Are Available?
Models are available with NPT or SAE ports in multiple sizes, allowing you to match the connection type and size to your hydraulic system.
Can Selector Valves Handle High-Pressure Systems?
Yes. Cross Manufacturing selector valves are rated for pressures up to 5000 PSI and flow rates up to 50 GPM, making them suitable for demanding hydraulic applications.
Do You Offer Different Configurations?
Yes. Options include 2-way valves for switching between two circuits, 3-way valves for routing among three circuits, and wheel selector valves for operator control from a cab.
