Mikey;
We used that same valve years ago on our portable 13 HP TM.
It was OK, but it will rust internally, since it is made for hydraulic fluid.
We have a better non-corrosive metering valve that we use on the TRex.

you talking about this one...
I have worked with this type before....they have a very short life when it comes to high pressure.....
The kind we have last a very long time....never ever have I had one rust.....
BTW...how long before that 45 screwed into the valve gives out...there is no way that all that weight from that swivel ( damn nice swivel I may add )....and all that brass..is not going to snap that thing at the threads...........
just a heads up if this is how they are being made...someone might want to change it.........
you don't need a swivel there...just pipe it straight out.........
