Wheel valve 253/11801 JCB, genuine

Wheel valve 253/11801 is a genuine JCB part for the JCB machines.

The product card gives this valve as a wheel valve. Valves on the wheel side control the medium entering or leaving a circuit or chamber: they let air or oil pass only in the intended direction, hold the pressure and allow it to be released when needed. A tight seat matters so that the circuit does not lose pressure, and a valve with a hardened seal or dirty seat causes a slow pressure loss and faults that can be hard to trace. The valve is chosen by part number, as valves that look alike can differ in thread and opening pressure. Clean the threads and seat before fitting. The valve is also checked when the unit it serves is serviced.
