The Perkins Diverter Valve
Ordinarily, the diverter valve’s
port “P” will feed the lifter.
But, if you have two lifters, then
you will use the Perkins Double
Diverter Valve.
It’s the same valve, except port
“P” is plugged, and a 50/50
splitter valve is mounted on top.
In this case, ports “P1” and “P2
will feed the lifters an equal
amount of flow each.
Making the Hose Connections
All the primary valves are now in place for a typical installation.
The tap-in kit would have come with 2 short hoses and 2 long hoses (single installation) or 4 short and 4
long for double installation.
Connect one short hose from the lifter’s left side to the hand valve port “A”.
Connect another short hose from the lifter’s right side to hand valve port “B”.
Note: If the handle’s operation is not as desired, you may switch the hoses to reverse the handle’s
operation
Connect one long hose from the hand valve’s “IN” port to the diverter valve’s “P” port. (or if performing
a dual installation, to port “P1” or “P2”)
Connect the last long hose from the hand valve’s “OUT” port to a tank line. *
Note: See photo of tank line connection on following page for more details.
Make sure all the hoses have been routed neatly. The hoses must be protected from rubbing or
pinching.
If performing a double installation, repeat this process for the second lifter.
