Figure 4. Gauge Port
IMPORTANT : Some spring return cylinders have a cavity in the rod which forms an air pocket. This type
of cylinder should be bled when positioned upside down or lying on its side with the port facing upward.
Hydraulic Pressure Gauge (optional)
Automatic Dump Valve
To monitor line pressure when using an automatic dump valve, a T-adapter is used between the valve
and the pressure switch to adapt a hydraulic pressure gauge.
Posi-Check Valve
If a Posi-Check valve is used, a hydraulic gauge shows zero pressure when the valve is switched to the
neutral (hold) position. Cylinder pressure, however, is held without loss. If reading the cylinder pressure,
a gauge must be installed in the outlet port of the valve.
To install a hydraulic pressure gauge (for PE104):
1. See Figure 4. Remove the pipe plug from the
valve’s gauge port.
