Built with an aluminum body and nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) seals, this valve is engineered for demanding hydraulic circuit applications where precise manual flow direction control is required. The 3\/8-18 NPTF inlet provides a secure, pressure-rated threaded connection. At 6.93 inches overall length and 3.99 pounds, it is compact enough for equipment-mounted installations while handling high-pressure hydraulic fluid. Hydraulic technicians and equipment mechanics are the primary installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis valve is suited for industrial hydraulic systems, mobile equipment, and shop-built hydraulic circuits where three flow positions are needed to control actuator direction. The three-position design allows for extend, retract, and neutral (center) states, making it practical for cylinder or motor control circuits in manufacturing, agricultural, and construction equipment applications. The NPTF thread standard ensures a pressure-tight connection without the need for additional thread sealant when properly assembled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum working pressure of 10,000 psi for high-demand hydraulic circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4.5 GPM maximum flow rate suitable for light to medium hydraulic actuator loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThree flow positions for bidirectional actuator control with a neutral center\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-18 NPTF inlet for pressure-rated threaded connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAluminum body construction for reduced weight without sacrificing pressure rating\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNBR seals provide compatibility with standard petroleum-based hydraulic fluids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct installation valve for hydraulic circuits requiring a manually operated three-position directional control valve with a 3\/8-18 NPTF inlet and a maximum working pressure of 10,000 psi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or industrial mechanic. Depressurize and lock out the hydraulic system completely before removing any existing valve or making new connections. Use NPTF-rated fittings and verify all connections are torqued and leak-free before returning the system to service. Follow applicable industry safety standards for hydraulic systems when routing lines and securing the valve body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Flow Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.5 GPM\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10,000 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Positions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-18\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPTF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.93 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.21 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.21 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeal Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.99 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: PS-MH-HPC1-173\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51695097970994,"sku":"PS-MH-HPC1-173","price":868.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/8f03f0174624834c9daf6e69bd12913f.jpg?v=1788331312","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-ps-mh-hpc1-173-directional-valve-4-5-gpm","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
