GA 102

How the GA 102 unit operates

Differential pressure from the permitted direction overcomes the closing element and opens the passage. Reverse differential pressure drives the element onto its seat and isolates the line. The action is automatic, with no electrical command or separate actuator. The valve does not create pressure and does not regulate normal flow; its defined task is to prevent unwanted movement of the medium in the opposite direction. Reliable operation depends on a clean working medium, serviceable seating surfaces and seals, undamaged threads and correct body orientation. If a connected actuator does not hold position or line pressure falls, maintenance personnel normally inspect not only GA 102, but also the pump, filter, pipelines, fittings, power cylinder and adjacent valves in the same circuit.

Published operating data and connections

Published catalogue data gives a nominal pressure of 1 MPa / 10 kgf/cm², a nominal flow capacity of 30 L/min, hydraulic resistance of the published catalogue rows are ambiguously labelled; confirm from the passport, an operating temperature range of −60 °C to +90 °C, and the following opening parameter: not independently confirmed. Mass: not more than 0.120 kg. Length 92 mm; flow-passage diameter 10 mm; connection thread M18×1.5. These values help distinguish the unit from similar catalogue positions and verify the mounting location. Two additional Uralprom rows are internally inconsistent and are therefore not presented as verified resistance or opening-pressure values. Before installation, the figures should be checked against the product passport, current technical specification and documentation for the particular aircraft. If the supplied unit or its passport records a different execution, the documentation accompanying that unit takes precedence.

Installing GA 102 and confirming aircraft applicability

Installation area: Compatible low-pressure hydraulic line. No exact aircraft or helicopter type for this execution was independently confirmed in the reviewed public documentation. Applicability is therefore not inferred from appearance or from a neighbouring family designation; it must be established from the IPC, maintenance manual, system diagram or product passport. Routine maintenance normally includes checking the marking, flow direction, connection tightness, body condition and contamination. Selection by diameter or photograph alone is unsafe because a similar body may be produced for another medium, thread, flow capacity or setting. Pumps, cylinders and distributors connected in the same circuit are associated components, but they perform different tasks and must not be presented as interchangeable with this unit. Before installation, the unit should be examined for corrosion, damaged threads and evidence of unsuitable storage; after connection, the approved leakage and functional checks should be completed. Test pressure, preservation method and depreservation procedure cannot be assigned from a general family description and must come from the passport or approved repair documentation. If the nameplate and accompanying documents disagree, installation should stop until the execution is clarified.

Designations, documents and related products

The primary English catalogue designation is GA 102. Procurement lists, export records and Cyrillic documentation may also use: GA-102; GA102; ГА 102; ГА-102; ГА102. These forms are included to identify one product, not to create separate items. An enquiry should state the complete marking, system type, working medium, mounting position, required condition, delivery set and whether a passport or test record is needed. The control valves and hydraulic units category also contains related positions: GA 104, OK 4A, OK 6A, 5653T-01. They belong to the same commercial and functional group, but an internal link does not establish compatibility or interchangeability. The final selection must follow the illustrated parts catalogue and approved aircraft documentation. Serial number, production date and actual delivery set are confirmed separately for the specific supplied unit.
