Can anyone identify this valve? It has three staggered threaded 1/4" ports, a knob that pulls in and out, and is plugged at the other end. The body is 3" long and 1 1/2" in diameter. There are five of these used for manual capacity contol on a Grasso compressor.

Hi Flasah:)

I can tell you what it is but I can't tell you where to get it except Grasso.
Its a three port hydralic diverter valve.

You can repalce it with any valve manufacturer provided the valve is compatible with the refrigerant and the oil being used. The pressure shouldn't be a problem say 8.5 bar on a grasso, much lower than 120 bar on a hydralic system

Kiind Regards Andy:)

Andy,

Thanks for the help. Now, hopefully, I'll be able to find where to get one.
