What is a Priority Flow Valve, and how does it work?
The Priority Flow Divider Valve is a 4″ x 6″ device that receives pressurized hydraulic fluid from the pump and routes it to separate systems. It can be mounted anywhere. However, it is best to mount the divider as close to the loader spool valve as possible. It just makes for a cleaner installation. The JPS system uses the priority valve to make sure that the steering unit has all the fluid it needs. The rest is sent to the loader for it’s use. The Priority Flow Divider keeps the steering wheel from jerking or moving when using the loader simultaneously with the power steering. The steering will always be fast and easy, regardless of engine RPM. Another benefit is that the Priority Flow Divider has a pressure relief valve built into it. The correct pressure is set at the factory and will not need to be adjusted. This is the valve that squeals when you turn all the way to the right or left.

Even though the squeal sounds bad, it is really a good sound because you know that your system i
