2-way directional valve from Sun Hydraulics
This valve is a 2-position, 2-way poppet cartridge that incorporates an integral pilot control cavity. It controls flow from port 1 to port 2, exhibits extremely low leakage rates and will accept 5000 psi (350 bar) at both ports. Installing a pilot solenoid cartridge in the T-8A cavity results in a high-flow directional valve. Other pilot options include manual, hydraulic and pneumatic pilot cartridges.
Note: Data may vary by configuration. See CONFIGURATION section.
