I am at the point where I could use some help plumbing multiple valves on my splitter build.
At first, I just needed a valve for the splitter, and then I thought that a log lift would be nice, so I bought a power beyond valve. Now, I would like to add a 4 way adjustable wedge.
I currently have a Prince 5000 power beyond valve to run the lift and a Prince 3000 valve to run the splitter. I plan to scrap the single spool power beyond valve and get a two spool with power beyond.
It’s less plumbing and more compact that way.
The first question I have for you is how do I connect the power beyond valves to the next valve?
Hard pipe, and if so what schedule?
Do I use unions?
Does someone make a short high pressure swivel nipple that will connect two valves together? I think the ports are 3/4" NPT.
I assume the last valve in the series is the should run the cylinder that does the splitting?
Thanks for your help.
