Bennett Marine Solenoid Valve, Red Wire, Trim Tab Hydraulic Control Valve, Part 6BT500867400

The Bennett Marine Solenoid Valve (Red Wire), part number 6BT500867400, is a hydraulic solenoid valve built for Bennett Marine trim tab systems. It controls the flow of hydraulic fluid from the Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU) to the trim tab actuators, allowing the helm switch to direct fluid to the correct actuator and produce precise, responsive trim tab movement. The valve body is stainless steel for corrosion resistance in the marine environment, and it is finished in red to identify it as the red-wire circuit of the trim tab control system, distinct from the matching green-wire solenoid used on the opposite circuit.

The valve has two ports, with a threaded inlet connection and a flanged outlet connection, each measuring 7 inches, and an overall footprint of 9 x 7 x 5 inches. It is supplied as a single solenoid unit intended to be wired into an existing Bennett trim tab hydraulic circuit in place of a failed or worn solenoid valve. Because trim tab solenoids are polarity- and circuit-specific, confirming the red-wire designation before ordering ensures the correct valve is installed on the correct side of the system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this solenoid valve do on a Bennett trim tab system? The Bennett Marine Solenoid Valve, Red Wire (part 6BT500867400) controls the flow of hydraulic fluid from the Hydraulic Power Unit to the trim tab actuators, so pressing the helm switch moves the correct tab in the correct direction.

Why is this solenoid valve red instead of green? This valve is the red-wire circuit solenoid in the Bennett trim tab system; a matching green-wire solenoid handles the opposite circuit, so the color and wire designation identify which side of the control circuit the valve serves.

What is the part number for this solenoid valve? The Bennett Marine solenoid valve covered here is part number 6BT500867400.

What material is the Bennett Marine solenoid valve made from? It is made from stainless steel, chosen for its corrosion resistance in a marine hydraulic environment.

What are the dimensions of this solenoid valve? The Bennett Marine solenoid valve (6BT500867400) measures 9 x 7 x 5 inches overall.

How many ports does this solenoid valve have? This Bennett Marine solenoid valve has 2 ports, with a threaded inlet connection and a flanged outlet connection, each 7 inches.

How much does this solenoid valve weigh? The Bennett Marine solenoid valve, red wire, weighs 0.25 pounds.

Does this solenoid valve come as a complete assembly? Yes, it is supplied as a single complete solenoid valve unit (unit count of 1), ready to wire into an existing Bennett trim tab hydraulic circuit.

Will this solenoid valve work with any trim tab system, or only Bennett systems? This solenoid valve, part 6BT500867400, is designed specifically for Bennett Marine trim tab hydraulic systems.

How do I know if I need the red-wire or green-wire solenoid valve? Check the wire color and circuit on the failed solenoid in your Bennett trim tab system; this listing is the red-wire valve (6BT500867400), and the green-wire version is a separate part for the other circuit.
