Flow Control

This valve is a fixed-orifice, pressure-compensated flow control valve with an integral pilot control cavity. The pilot control cavity will accept any T-8A pilot control cartridge. This type of valve provides precise flow regulation for meter-in or meter-out applications where there may be wide pressure fluctuations. The flow setting is specified by the user and is set at the factory.

• Customer must specify a flow rating. Factory set flow ratings are within +/- 10% of the requested setting.
• Note: With the -8 control option, the main stage valve should first be installed to the correct torque value. The T-8A pilot control valve should then be installed into the main stage valve to its required torque value.
• The -8 control option allows the pilot control valve to be incorporated directly into the end of the flow control cartridge via the T-8A cavity. These pilot control cartridges are sold separately and include electro-proportional, solenoid, air pilot, and hydraulic pilot operation. See Pilot Control Cartridges for more information.
• All 2-port flow control cartridges are physically and functionally interchangeable (i.e. same flow path, same cavity for a given frame size). However, cartridge extension dimensions from the mounting surface may vary.
• The sharp-edged orifice design minimizes flow variations due to viscosity changes.
• Incorporates the Sun floating style construction to minimize the possibility of internal parts binding due to excessive installation torque and/or cavity/cartridge machining variations.
