Is it the end where the rod comes out, or is it the fixed end? I'm asmebling a splitter now and not sure what it means, when attaching the lines.
Thanks

What is the 'top' end of a hydraulic ram?

The rod end is the top end. When energized it has less power but more speed for returning.
Yes, you want the rod end toward the ram. It gives more 'push' as the other way the area of the rod is subtracted from the area of the 'push' plate inside the cylinder. It isn't that much but every little bit helps when doing knots.
