Question by: Curt H on Oct 23, 2025, 4:10 PM
Running this on a refuse hauler that cycles pretty hard throughout the day, does this valve hold up to that kind of continuous use, or is it more of a light-duty setup?
Answer by: Customer Support on Oct 24, 2025, 7:16 PM
Continuous duty is exactly what this valve is built for. Smooth and quiet operation is part of the design, so it handles repeated pressure cycles without needing to be babied. Refuse haulers and harvesters are both listed as intended applications, so the demands of a hard daily cycle are well within what this valve is meant to take on.
