Slide-out cylinders
Replacement hydraulic cylinder for a slide-out room. Cylinders are identified by bore, stroke and body length, and several were built only for a particular coach builder, so measure before ordering.

Body length is measured on the cylinder body, not including the rod. The description reads bore by stroke, so a 1 3/8 x 24 is a 1 3/8 inch bore with a 24 inch stroke. Several of these cylinders replace an earlier smaller bore version, so an older coach may have a 1 1/8 inch bore cylinder where the current part is 1 3/8 inch. Where a part number exists with and without an EQ suffix, the EQ part is the one EQ Systems builds and sells now, and the plain number is obsolete.
Before you replace a slide cylinder
A slide room that extends on its own from the stowed position is usually not a failed cylinder. It indicates a loss of pressure in the common retract circuit, and the leading cause is trapped air. Bleed the system and run the hose routing test in the troubleshooting guide below before condemning a cylinder. Some slide cylinders are fitted with an anti creep valve at the rod end, part 2404.
