HySecurity MX5245, Valve, Directional, kit with matching coil
The HySecurity MX5245 is a replacement directional valve kit with matching coil for select HySecurity and Nice HySecurity SlideDriver II hydraulic slide gate operator systems. It is commonly listed as Valve, Directional Kit and is used in the hydraulic control circuit of compatible SlideDriver II pump pack assemblies.
The directional valve is part of the hydraulic system that helps route hydraulic flow according to the operators commanded direction. In a SlideDriver II operator, this valve works with the pump pack, controller, pressure transducer, unloader valve where used, relief valve, brake assembly, solenoid coil, hoses, quick disconnects, hydraulic motor, drive system, and gate hardware to move the gate in the correct direction.
HySecurity SlideDriver II parts documentation lists MX5245 in the motor and pump pack section for SD15, SD40, SD50F, SD80V, and SD200V configurations. Because SlideDriver II pump packs are configuration-sensitive, MX5245 should be selected by exact part number, operator model, pump pack layout, valve cavity, matching coil, wiring connection, hydraulic circuit, and current HySecurity parts documentation.
What This Directional Valve Kit Does
The MX5245 directional valve kit controls hydraulic flow direction in compatible SlideDriver II pump pack systems. When the operator receives an open or close command, the controller and valve circuit work together so hydraulic flow is directed properly for gate movement.
If the directional valve is sticking, contaminated, leaking internally, electrically not being commanded, installed in the wrong cavity, or paired with the wrong coil, the operator may fail to move in one direction, move inconsistently, chatter, fault, build pressure incorrectly, or appear to have a pump pack, hydraulic motor, controller, pressure sensor, or wiring problem. Similar symptoms can also be caused by low hydraulic fluid, contaminated fluid, bad pressure transducer feedback, failed unloader valve, relief valve issue, hose leak, weak pump pack, hydraulic motor wear, drive wheel slippage, or gate drag.
Compatible With
The HySecurity MX5245 is intended for select HySecurity / Nice HySecurity SlideDriver II hydraulic pump pack applications where this directional valve kit is specified. Compatibility depends on the operator model, serial number, pump pack configuration, valve cavity, coil arrangement, wiring, pressure sensor layout, hydraulic circuit, and current HySecurity parts documentation.

MX5245 vs. Related SlideDriver II Hydraulic Parts
SlideDriver II pump packs use several valve and sensor parts that may be confused during troubleshooting. MX5245 should not be substituted for another part unless the parts diagram confirms it.
- MX5245: Directional valve kit with matching coil for select SlideDriver II applications.
- MX5246: Unloader valve kit used in select SlideDriver II SD15 and SD40 applications, not the same part.
- MX5502: 3000 PSI pressure transducer, not the same part.
- MX000174: 3000 PSI relief valve, not the same part.
- MX000143: Brake kit, not the same part.
- MX000686: Breather cap, not the same part.
- MX000161: 4-quart reservoir, not the same part.
A directional valve problem can look similar to a pressure sensor, unloader valve, relief valve, pump pack, hydraulic motor, or controller problem. Confirm the valve function and electrical command before replacing parts.
MX5245 vs. Older Directional Valve References
MX5245 should also be kept separate from older HySecurity hydraulic directional valve and coil references used in other operator families.
- MX5245: SlideDriver II directional valve kit with matching coil where specified.
- MX001257: Older directional valve with manual function used in select HySecurity hydraulic systems, not the same part.
- MX000184: 24VDC directional valve coil used in select older hydraulic systems, not the same part.
- MX000172: Related 2-position directional valve reference used in select earlier systems, not the same part.
- MX000173: Older quick stop / solenoid unloader valve reference, not the same part.

- Hydraulic oil, pump pack, manifold, hoses, controller wiring, and related operator parts sold separately unless specifically listed
Technician Note
On a SlideDriver II, the directional valve and coil are part of a larger hydraulic control circuit. If the gate is only moving one direction, moves weakly, stalls, or behaves intermittently, confirm the valve command signal and hydraulic condition before replacing parts. A wiring fault, low voltage to the coil, contaminated oil, or gate mechanical drag can look like a bad valve.
Use extra care when comparing HySecurity hydraulic valves. Many valve cartridges have similar shapes, coil bodies, threads, and connector styles, but the internal hydraulic function can be completely different. Match the MX5245 by part number and manifold location, not by appearance alone.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm the exact part number needed is HySecurity MX5245.
- Confirm the operator is a HySecurity SlideDriver II model.
- Verify the current HySecurity parts diagram lists MX5245 for the directional valve kit.
- Confirm the valve cavity and manifold match the original installation.
- Confirm the coil voltage and connector style match the operator wiring.
- Check whether the repair requires the full valve kit or a different coil, valve, or manifold part.
- Do not confuse MX5245 with MX5246 unloader valve or older MX000172 / MX000184 directional valve parts.
- Inspect hydraulic oil condition, pump pack operation, hoses, wiring, and gate mechanics before replacing the valve.
Installation and Service Notes
This valve kit should be installed by a qualified HySecurity gate technician or hydraulic gate operator technician. Disconnect power before service and follow the HySecurity service documentation. Hydraulic pressure should be relieved safely before removing any valve, fitting, hose, or manifold component.
Keep the hydraulic circuit clean during service. Dirt, metal chips, water, thread debris, or damaged seals can cause repeat valve problems. After installation, the operator should be tested through full open and close cycles, including limits, speed, pressure behavior, safety inputs, and emergency/manual operation where applicable.
Professional Advisory
Hydraulic gate operator repairs can involve electrical controls, moving gate hazards, high-pressure hydraulic components, heavy gates, and required safety devices. Do not bypass photo eyes, safety edges, loop inputs, monitored entrapment protection, stop circuits, pressure protections, or operator fault circuits to make the gate run.
If the operator has hydraulic leaks, repeated fuse failures, coil overheating, contaminated oil, unexplained pressure problems, or unsafe gate movement, the full gate system should be inspected before continued use. For South Florida customers, local pickup in the Hialeah Gardens area may be available when inventory allows. Confirm part number, configuration, and stock before coming in for pickup.
