Abstract: A compact fluid pressure control solenoid valve including a gate valve has outer and inner sleeves. The outer sleeve has ports connected thereto for the admission of pressurized fluid and the delivery of pressurized fluid from the pressure control valve to the work or back to a sump. The inner sleeve has formed therein at least a pair of fluid grooves, and the outer sleeve acting in conjunction with the grooves to form passages for hydraulic fluid flow to and from the gate valve and from main valve chamber. The inner sleeve has a main valving chamber with the gate valve being formed at one end of the main valving chamber.

Abstract: A solenoid assembly has a U-shaped bracket with outwardly extending mounting appendages. A solenoid coil has one end supported by the U-shaped bracket, a centerplate for centering and supporting the opposite end of the solenoid coil and a trapping plate for trapping the centerplate and solenoid coil in the U-shaped bracket. The U-shaped bracket has at least one tear-off tab attachment appendage and a break-off necked-down portion connecting the at least one attachment appendage to the U-shaped bracket whereby the tear-off tab can be torn off by twisting either up or down, side to side, or by rotating the tab around the neck axis.
