Title: Fold Down Step Norgren Valve
Post by: Rudy on March 20, 2021, 09:35:41 pm
Does anyone know the part number for the Norgren valve that controls the front fold down step on a Unicoach?

Thanks.

My recent post from another thread might help:

What is the part number on your old valve?

I think this one is functionally the same for $21.

Old guy
Where did you find the replacement norgren valves to ship to Canada?  My step cover does not work and I suspect I might as well replace both valves

Sorry Peter I don't remember where I got them and if I would do it over again
I would find some kind of valves to do the job. A friend said there are valves out
there that would do the same job.

Keep in mind these valves are easy to clean and get working as good as new. They are simple inside. Many have done the clean rather than replace.  Several good postings could be a help.

Mark, your Amazon TAILONZ pneumatic valve find is great.

Like how they have a parts explosion diagram with each end of cylinder having its own adjustable muffler, and a test button, and all fittings supplied for $17.

Better than cleaning, although cleaning also works.

Thanks...

It has worked good for me.  I can't take all the credit for the "Find" though.  I believe that I saw this valve listed on another thread in this Forum, and that's what lead me to it.  I was looking for that Thread but couldn't find it again.

Found it !  Credit for finding the valve should go to John Fitzgerald.  He listed that valve I used on a Thread 2 years ago.
