Should this go in the scrap pile?

[mrsbruce]

Once upon a time, I travelled to a village at the bottom end of Loch Lomond to collect a nipping press (I have been known to bind a book or two). While there, the man sold me this item for a £1. I assume it’s an hydraulic thingy, but I know no more.

I figured it was worth it for scrap value, but I wondered if it was any good to someone here. After it doing the obligatory living in a cupboard for about a decade, it’s time to move it on.

So, sell or scrap. What do you wonderful folk think.

Got to be useful for someone! cant see the details on the makers plate its a bit blury for my old eyes!

Looks like some sort of sectional hydraulic control valve, did he have a jcb or front loader

 

[Windy Miller]

Someone, somewhere is DESPERATE for that thing!

Looks remarkably like the 'tipping valve' from a Thwaites 2 ton dumper truck.

Stick a bulb in it and put it on Etsy for £100 (stock answer for anything that looks remotely industrial)

Sadly, no idea. It was his retirement home, so no real clues anywhere.

I will give you a quid for it!

A close up of the metal plate might reveal something, @Rannsachair is a hydraulics guru and may be able to shed some light!

Here’s a better image of the plate. It is fairly big and heavy, the size about 15cm x10cm x 14mm.

Compressor unloading valve would be my pure guess, without trying to google it.

Atlas Copco, is it something off a road compressor?
Could be new with those plugs in the ports ££££

At that price it looks like it's worth a punt putting it on Amazon for £200 plus P&P . If you put the first part of the designation into your search engine and add the" hv numbers & letters " you should find an exact match for it .

Atlas copco do so much other than air. They also rebadge alot of stuff.


As above its hydraulic related

It looks to me to be a 1 Bank Monoblock Valve without the lever ie bare. its to good to scrap by the look of it. stick it on ebay under the hydralic section someone will buy it for a log splitter build. start off high you can always come down (dads words) I would be interested in it myself had it been a double one, singles I have a couple all ready.

Can't add much to whats been said, Monsun Tison is not a name I have heard for years, they were a quality hydraulic manufacturer, that is a hydraulic spool valve block as has been said.

It will certainly be of value, I would stick it on ebay with the part number and lots of photo's.

 

[Barking Mat]

Pretty damn sure that reverses thé flow of hydraulic fluid, giving forward and backwards.

I've seen them used on hydraulic transmissions on boats.

 

[Rannsachair]

I see Parker took over Monsun Tison and sold HV03 valves for a while, worth adding to description if selling.

This is the Thwaites tipper valve I was talking about, with the spool actuator vertical in the picture

 

[Tinbasherdan]

If it’s a two way spool I’ll be interested for my hydraulic winch
