Title: air leveling valve
Post by: reece1975 on August 30, 2021, 11:11:35 am
2000 Foretravel U320

Does anyone know where to buy the air leveling valve. I am not sure if I have the correct name for the valve.

Napa have them. Ebay have them. Foretravel has them. You get a discount from Foretravel parts. Also if you use Amazon link here. The forum gets a taste. Common part used across industry.

Do not get the black plastic. The mounting holes do not line up.

Do you know the number of the plastic one not to order?

Every time this topic floats to the top of the Forum, we get into this discussion about metal versus plastic height control valves.  The original valves on my coach (which are still in place and functioning perfectly) were metal.  This is also true of most of the coaches represented by the "active" members on this Forum (late 80's to late 90's models).  At some point Haldex switched from using metal to plastic in producing their valves.  If you go looking for a genuine Haldex height control valve today you will most likely get the plastic version - either 90555105 or KN27000.  Haldex indicates these two part numbers are comparable.

KN27000 - Height Control Valve Kit - Haldex product (https://www.haldex.com/en/na/suspension-controls/height-control-valve/ir-height-control-valves/kn27000/)

It is possible that you may find some new old stock (NOS) Haldex or Midland brand metal valves online.  I did, on eBay.  Still serviceable?  I don't know...haven't needed to use it - yet.

You will find many copies of the original metal valves for sale online.  Made where?  By whom?  As good as Haldex?  It's your coach, so DWMYH.  See threads below for additional relevant data:

I put the plastic on and only one bolt lines up. I think this is the one you need.
