Help with pilot valve for Kinyon hammer


Recommended Posts

I've worn out several 2 way 3 port pilot valves on my Kinyon hammer.  Theses are the small, cheap ones with stamped sheet metal pivot arms. Ebay has industrial quality

4 way 5 port valves.  Can they be used to function as a 2 way 3 port valve and if so, what would the configuration be? I tried to educate myself on this question but got a headache instead............Thanks

Is that the small 'shuttle'valve mounted up on the ram with the ramp that pushes the switch in and out? If so, I've been involved with 2 cases of failure. Both times, the valve was mounted too close to the ramp, and the whole body was distorting, until they failed. I can't answer your question, but if you remake the mounting bracket to where it only gets action enough to work, the valve you have been using will last a long time.
