Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What material and construction does the PU AA-17 valve cone housing use?
A: The PU AA-17 is machined from carbon steel with an unplated plain finish. This material provides the hardness and strength needed to contain hydraulic pressures in the pump assembly.
Q: What is the pressure rating for the PU AA-17 housing?
A: The PU AA-17 valve cone housing is rated for up to 3500 PSI hydraulic system working pressure. Do not use this component in applications exceeding its rated pressure specification.
Q: Which Pallet Mule models use the PU AA-17?
A: The PU AA-17 is designed for both Pallet Mule AA5000 and AA5500 manual pallet jack hydraulic units. Verify your equipment model number before ordering to confirm fit.
Q: What parts interface with the PU AA-17 valve cone housing?
A: The PU AA-17 housing works with the PU AA-16 valve cone and the PU AA-18 O-ring seal. These three components form the pump valve assembly and must be matched for proper hydraulic function.
Q: Does the unplated finish affect the performance of this housing?
A: The unplated plain carbon steel finish is the original OEM specification. The machined surface provides adequate sealing contact for the O-ring and valve elements. Do not apply additional coatings without manufacturer approval.
