Pilot-operated, pressure reducing valves reduce a high primary pressure at the inlet (port 2) to a constant reduced pressure at port 1, allowing circuits with multiple pressure requirements to be operated using a single pump.

• Full reverse flow from reduced pressure (port 1) to inlet (port 2) may cause the main spool to close. If reverse free flow is required in the circuit, consider adding a separate check valve to the circuit.
• Minimum setting is 75 psi (5 bar) for all spring ranges.
• Pilot operated valves exhibit exceptionally flat pressure/flow characteristics, are very stable and have low hysteresis.
• Pressure at port 3 is directly additive to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio and should not exceed 5000 psi (350 bar).
• Recommended maximum inlet pressure is determined by the adjustment range. Ranges A, B, N, and Q are tested with a 3000 psi (210 bar) maximum differential between inlet and reduced pressure. Range W is tested with 5000 psi (350 bar) of inlet pressure.
