Valves can be mounted in any attitude. Systems should be fl ushed clean to IS O 4406 Class 18/15 or better. B ifold
Fluidpower FP15 valves aord excellent sealing characteristics provided high standards of cleanliness are
maintained. Where this cannot be ass ured we recommend the use of valves from the extensive range of Bifold
Fluidpower Slide Valves which are more tolerant to fluid borne contaminants.
