Raymond Hydraulic Valve RA520-835-04 – RA520-835/04

Directing and regulating oil inside a Raymond lift truck hydraulic circuit, this valve controls where pressurized fluid moves so the system performs lift, lower, and related functions on the operator's command. It sits in the circuit between the pump and the working cylinders, translating operator input into controlled hydraulic action as pressure builds and releases.

A hydraulic control valve governs flow and direction through its internal spool and passages, and its condition sets how the truck responds. A valve in good order keeps hydraulic movement smooth and predictable, while a worn one lets the load drift, slows actuation, or produces erratic, jerky movement as oil bypasses internally.

This is the Raymond valve for that position, installed to renew a unit that has begun to leak, stick, or bypass. Match the valve function and port configuration to the unit being replaced, since a valve of the wrong function or port layout will not plumb into the circuit or command the same action.
