The OILPATH OP222: The Benchmark Hydraulic Tipper Valve for Your Truck & Dog - Made in Australia!
Upgrade your tipping efficiency and support Australian manufacturing with the industry-leading OILPATH OP222, the leading 4 Port, Twin Spool, Hydraulic Directional Control Tipper Valve!
Unlike generic valves, the OILPATH OP222 is specifically designed for the lift hoists in Truck and Dog tipping applications, featuring patented technology to maximise oil flow and performance, and proudly manufactured right here in Australia.
The Secret's in the Design:
Engineered Flow Paths:
OILPATH engineers designed the internal passages to minimise pressure drop, especially during lowering (Hoist / Tipper Down). This means faster and more efficient tipping cycles. As with every valve in the OP Range, each spool bore in the OP222 is hand-honed to individually match its hardened steel spool, producing extremely tight, consistent tolerances. That precision fitment keeps internal leakage low and pressure control sharp, cycle after cycle, load after load.
Smart Pressure Relief Valve:
The high-performance relief valve offers minimal pressure drop and exceptional stability, preventing accidental over-pressurisation beyond a safe 3,200 psi.
Built to Last:
- Heavy-Duty Construction: The valve body is crafted from high-tensile strength cast iron for unmatched durability.
- Premium Materials: Hardened steel spools and Buna-N (Nitrile) seals ensure smooth operation and long service life.
- Hand-Honed Bore Fitment: Each bore is individually honed to match its hardened steel spool, giving extremely fine tolerances and very low leakage rates — a key reason OP Range valves are known to run reliably for 20 to 30 years.
Additional Features:
- High Flow Capacity: Handles up to 160 litres per minute (Lt/min) for efficient tipping.
- Maximum Pressure: Withstands working pressures up to 220 bar (3,200 psi).
- Convenient Connection Ports: Utilises standard 1" BSPP for Oil Supply and the two Working ports, and a 1-1/4" BSPP Tank Return Port for easy installation. Test Ports are 1/4" BSPP and Compressed Air Connections for Pneumatic Actuators are 1/8" BSPT.
- Built-in Diagnostics: The test ports allow for easy pressure checks and setting of auxiliary functions.
- Moisture-Resistant Design: The pneumatic actuator system includes a vacuum elimination feature to minimise moisture ingestion, extending valve lifespan.
Don't settle for generic solutions! The OILPATH OP222 is the clear choice for reliable, efficient, and safe tipping operations, while also supporting Australian innovation and manufacturing. Upgrade your Truck and Dog tipper today and choose Australian-made quality!
Why the OP222 Costs More — and Lasts Longer
- Hand-honed bores individually matched to hardened steel spools — not mass-tolerance manufacturing
- Purpose-engineered flow paths for minimal pressure drop on lowering, unlike generic tipper valves
- High-performance relief valve for reliable, stable over-pressure protection
- Typical service life of 20–30 years before replacement is needed
- Spare parts and seal kits always available for the life of the valve
