Powertrol plugs

Hello,

I have seen a bunch of Powertrol plugs in the last couple of weeks. Can someone tell me what the differences are? Some are hollow, some are solid, some have the side holes. I thought I understood the 'quick-tach' hanging on the end of some, but have seen at least two styles of these. Thank you. TomC1

Take a look at the [b:654c4848f0]POWR-TROL VALVE HOUSING[/b:654c4848f0] diagram below.



Note the plug (Key) 9 and the oil coupling (Key 25).

Take a look at the photo below of the plug, sometimes referred to as a "dummy plug".



Note that the plug has a solid, closed end.

The plugs are installed in the Powr-Trol housing when a remote cylinder is not in use.



Take a look at the photo below of the oil coupling.



Note that the oil coupling has an open end.

Take a look at the photo below of how the oil flows through the oil coupling.



If the remote cylinder has one hydraulic hose for both supply and return, then connect the hydraulic hose to the bottom oil coupling.



If the remote cylinder has two hydraulic hoses, one for supply and one for return, then connect the supply hose to the bottom oil coupling and the return hose to the top oil coupling.

A remote plug, whether it be a ?dummy? plug or oil coupling, must be positioned with the hole horizontal.

The hydraulics will only work if the hole is horizontal.

The hydraulics will not work if the hole is vertical.

Hope this helps.

Thank you James H.
I hope to make things work with this help.
