Has anyone found another brand other than Lippert that is better quality? I bought a Lippert brand because the one that serves my slides was leaking by. Now the new one has failed as well.
 
Just a guess here, because I do not know if there are other brands that would fit the Lippert brand. I suspect that like many products that are very specifically made, there may not be another option other than the OEM.

A couple of questions for you..1. How old is the "new" one that you bought to replace the original?.....and could it still have some warranty time left. 2. For the second one to have failed, could point to possibly some contamination in the hydraulic system and/or the hydraulic fluid....did you flush/replace the fluid when you replaced the failed Hydac with the new one?

It certainly doesn't take much in the way of contaminants to cause sol. valve issues.
 
1. About 4 months
2. Yes, in April prior to replacing the valve.

I see a few options on Amazon that don’t specifically say Lippert and are about half the price of the one that specifically says Lippert.
 
Hydac Cartridge valve:
You will have four of these valves on your RV. One is located on the front LG ( passenger side ) and three are located on the Extend manifold block located inside the hydraulic pump access area on the wall
** These are used to control the flow of hydraulic fluid and pressure for hydraulic slide and hydraulic level up landing gear extension or retraction
The PN for the valve ( same for all ) is:
Lippert PN: 177094
Actual PN: WS08W-01T-C-N-0
It is made by Hydac International Company..
You can also find the same PN made by various companies located in China...
** The price between the two is "considerably less" with the China versions..

From Amazon ( China Made ): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0D22HZW54/...
From RV Upgrades Website ( Lippert made ):
https://www.rvupgradestore.com/Hydac.../045-177094.htm
The coil is sold separately and there are two types used ( one for the Frt LG and then the other on the three valves on the extend manifold.. ( the electrical coil rarely fails )
From Adventure RV Parts (Lippert PN): but does not state if Lippert or China made:

From Amazon ( various China knock offs ):
https://www.amazon.com/Cartridge-Compatible.../dp/B0D16WW5VG
** Which one would I buy if I needed a replacement Hydac cartridge valve??
Probably one of the China knock offs from Amazon.. Again, this doesn't come with the slide on electrical coil and the coils usually are not the issue ( I've never seen one be bad ... its always the internals of the Hydac cartidge valve that cause the issues

Thank you for the very detailed info about the Hydac valves and purchase locations. I am applying a "sticky" to this thread to keep it at the top of the section so that it is easier to find when it might be needed.
