Abstract

A slide valve especially designed for mining prop cylinders. The slide valve is durable and can be easily checked and adjusted. An inlet pressure line is separated from an outlet line by a diaphragm pressed against its seat by a spring. A thrust washer allows the diaphragm to remain flat, even when it is subjected to the pressure of the spring.
