Komatsu 723-40-71900 is the self reducing pilot pressure valve: a machined steel valve block with an adjuster and lock nut on one side, mounting holes through the block and plugged ports, with the casting number 71411 on the end face. It is used on Komatsu PC220-8 and PC300-8 excavators. This aftermarket version is made to the same mounting and connections as the original, so it fits where the old one came off.
Sold as one unit. Check the number on your old part, or in the parts manual for your machine, before ordering.

Applications & use cases
Controls weak or dead
The pilot (self reducing) valve feeds the low pressure oil the joysticks and pedals use. When it fails every function becomes sluggish or stops responding together.
Low pilot pressure reading
A gauge on the pilot circuit reading well under the service figure, with a healthy pump, points to the reducing valve.
Travel or attachment pedal problems
A worn foot pilot valve gives jerky or one sided travel and attachment control.
Matching the old unit
Match the part number on the old valve and check the port layout before fitting.

Frequently asked questions
Will it fit my Komatsu PC210-8?
Yes, it was made for the Komatsu PC210-8, and 4 more listed under compatible equipment. Check the old pilot valve is marked 723-40-71900 or one of the cross references, because makers change parts between serial ranges.
How often should I replace the pilot valve on my Komatsu PC210-8?
On the Komatsu PC210-8, there is no fixed interval. It is changed when it fails, and many fail from water in the plug or chafed wiring rather than wear.
What are the signs the pilot valve needs replacing?
A fault code for this circuit, readings that jump or stay fixed, or a part that does not respond with power at the plug.
Does the voltage matter?
Yes. Many machines have 12 V and 24 V versions of the same pilot valve. Check the old part or the machine plate before fitting.
How do I test the old part first?
Read the fault codes, then check the plug and wiring for corrosion or a broken wire. A wiring fault reads the same as a failed pilot valve.
Is this a genuine Komatsu 723-40-71900?
No. It is an aftermarket pilot valve made to replace the Komatsu 723-40-71900. It is not made by the original manufacturer; the number only shows what it replaces.
