Western Plows Part # 49229K-1

Valve 4-Way W/Nut

Western Part # 49229K-1 is a 4-Way Hydraulic Valve, complete with a mounting nut, designed for use in the hydraulic systems of various Western Snow Plow models. This valve is a critical component responsible for directing the flow of hydraulic fluid to different cylinders, enabling the primary functions of the plow, such as raising, lowering, and angling the blade left and right.   

As a 4-way valve, it typically features four ports that connect to the hydraulic pump, reservoir, and the hydraulic cylinders responsible for the plow’s movements. By controlling the direction of hydraulic fluid flow through these ports, the valve allows the operator to select the desired plow function. The inclusion of a mounting nut in this part number signifies that the valve is ready for installation onto a mounting surface on the plow’s hydraulic unit. This nut ensures a secure and stable attachment of the valve, preventing movement or vibration that could lead to leaks or malfunctions.

Built to withstand the demanding conditions of snow plowing, this 4-way valve is constructed from durable materials that are resistant to hydraulic fluid and the temperature extremes encountered during winter operations. Its precise internal design ensures smooth and reliable control of the hydraulic cylinders, contributing to the overall efficiency and effectiveness of your Western Snow Plow. Replacing a faulty or leaking 4-way valve with this genuine Western part will restore proper hydraulic control to your plow. Always refer to your Western Plow’s documentation and hydraulic schematics to confirm compatibility with your specific plow model and hydraulic system, and to follow proper installation procedures for the valve and mounting nut.
