OEM Potted Heavy-Duty Solenoid for Single-Acting Hydraulic Pumps
The KTI 391-42 is a 12V DC potted heavy-duty solenoid designed for single-acting (power up / gravity down) hydraulic pump systems. With a cylindrical 10V 16W coil assembly and 250–500A load capacity, this is the factory-spec solenoid for KTI single-acting power units.
The fully molded (potted) construction protects the coil and wiring harness from moisture, vibration, and corrosion — making it well suited to outdoor commercial use on dump trailers and flatbeds.

🔍 What This Solenoid Does
The 391-42 is the directional solenoid that controls the hydraulic valve on single-acting (power up / gravity down) KTI pump systems. When energized, it opens the valve to allow pressurized fluid to extend the cylinder. When de-energized, gravity returns the load.
If your single-acting dump trailer raises but won't hold, or the valve doesn't engage — this solenoid is a common failure point.
🛠 Verified Fitment & Brand Applications
This solenoid is used on trailers equipped with KTI single-acting hydraulic power units, including models from:

Literature & Documentation
Testing & installation notes
Quick diagnosis (from the KTI troubleshooting guide): most power-unit problems are electrical.
- Motor not running → check voltage at the start solenoid while pressing the remote button, then check power at the DC motor.
- Clicking but no crank → usually voltage drop: verify battery charge and cable gauge (see table in the install PDF).
- Battery terminal nuts torque to 3 ft-lbs — hold the lower nut while torquing.
Battery cable sizing (increase gauge as cable length grows — undersized cable = voltage drop, high amps, damaged components):
| Cable length | Wire gauge | Nominal OD |
|---|---|---|
| 1–2 ft | 4 ga | 0.43" |
| 3–4 ft | 2 ga | 0.49" |
| 5–7 ft | 1 ga | 0.56" |
| 8–9 ft | 1/0 ga | 0.61" |
| 10–12 ft | 2/0 ga | 0.66" |
| 13–15 ft | 3/0 ga | 0.72" |
| 16–19 ft | 4/0 ga | 0.78" |
