Introduction
These solenoid operated
directional control valves are
for directing and stopping
flow at any point in a hydrau-
lic system. This 60-design
series has been specially
designed and developed to
cover expanded demands in
the industry as well as the
many traditional uses of the
earlier designs. Some of the
more important benefits to
users are outlined.
• Efcient control of greater
hydraulic powers without
increasing solenoid power
consumption.
• Installed cost and space
savings from higher
power/weight-and-size
ratios.
• Increases system efciency;
the result of improved
manufacture of spools
and bores.
General description
• Installation exibility
resulting from choice of
numerous combinations
of solenoid connectors
and locations.
• Multi-uid capability with-
out need to change seals.
• Higher sustained machine
productivity and higher
uptime because of proven

• Surge supression for
DC valves
Surge suppression is used
to prevent coil damage by
reducing contact burnoff –
increasing switch life – and
protecting electrical control-
lers from inductive spikes.
Three coil options are
available:
D1 – Encapsulated diode
(Industrial application)
D2 – Encapsulated diode
(Mobile application)
D7 – Transzorb type
Features and
Benefits
• Minimal pressure drop,
i.e. 2,5 bar (36 psi) at
30 l/min (7.9 USgpm)
Achieved by optimization of
the valve body, spool and
spool-stroke design. The
results: low energy consump-
tion and improved efficiency.
• High reliability
Design of spring forces and
profile of DC solenoid force
characteristics ensure spool
position selection under
extreme operating condi-
tions. Result is a valve with
high reliability when being
energized or de-energied.
• Scratch-proof manual
override seal
Internal seals are located
such that they are beyond
reach of any bore damage
caused by small tools used to
operate the manual override.
Result is no messy oil drips
from the manual overrides.
Small diameter manual over-
rides prevent inadvertent
operation.
• Ease of servicing
Wet-armature solenoid,
screw-in core tube design
allows coils to be changed
without removing valve from
installation and without oil
spillage or risk of contaminat-
ing system fluid.
• Electrical connections
Conduit box design that
simplifies electrical wiring
connections to solenoids.
Orientation tabs prevent
incorrect positioning.

DG4V-3 models are direct
solenoid operated four-way
directional control valves.
Their primary function in a
hydraulic circuit is to direct
fluid flow. This, in turn, would
determine the direction of
movement of a fluid cylinder,
or the direction of rotation of
a fluid motor.
Port connections are made
by mounting the valve on
a subplate or manifold. The
valve has wet armature type
solenoids.
Electrical connections to
the valve are made in the
electrical wiring housing or
thru various plug-in connec-
tors such as a DIN 43650
type coil.
Good hydraulic design prac-
tice suggests that detented
models be mounted with
longitudinal axis horizon-
tal. Other models may be
mounted in any position.
Operating considerations
1. Dependent on the applica-
tion and the system filtration,
any sliding spool valve if held
shifted under pressure for
long periods of time, may
stick and not move readily
due to fluid residue forma-
tion. It may therefore need
to be cycled periodically to
prevent this from happening.
2. Surges of fluid in a com-
mon tank line serving two
or more valves can be of
sufficient magnitude to cause
inadvertent shifting of these
valves. This is particularly
critical in no-spring detented
models, separate drain lines
are necessary.

WARNING: Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
It is necessary to ensure that the unit is wired up in accordance with the connection arrangements shown above.
For effective protection the user’s electrical cabinet, the valve subplate or manifold and the cable screens should be
connected to efficient ground points.
In all cases both valve and cable should be kept as far away as possible from any sources of electromagnetic
radiation such as cables carrying heavy current, relays and certain kinds of portable radio transmitters, etc. Difficult
environments could mean that extra screening may be necessary to avoid the interference.

of the following usages
are required:
(a) Single flow path, i.e. P to
A, P to B, A to T or B to T.
(b) Substantially different
simultaneous flow
rates between P to A
or B and B or A to T, e.g.
when A and B are
connected to a cylinder
having a large differen-
tial area.
Low Power Coils
(DG4V-3 models only)
When using low power coils
(coil designations *L in model
code) the maximum flow is
reduced from values given on
this page (graphs 4, 5 and 6)
by up to:
70% – for DC coils
50% – for AC coils
depending on spool type.

Water-resistant manual override on solenoid
DG4V-3(S)-****(L)-H-(V)M-**-**-60
Application
General use where finger operation is required (standard manual
overrides cannot be operated without using small tool).
Note:
“H” feature is not eld convertible from other models;
specify with order.
Latching manual override on solenoid
DG4V-3-****(L)-Y-(V)M-**-**-60
DG4V-3S-****(L)-Y-(V)M-**-**-60, DC coil models only
Application
Stainless steel lever/latch mechanism and water-resistant seal
make this feature ideal for vehicle-mounted and exposed
applications requiring emergency selection of valve for a period
of time in the event of electrical failure.
Notes:
1. Opposite solenoid (on “C” and “N” double solenoid models)
should not be energized while the valve is latched in selected
position; AC solenoid coils will burn out under
this improper usage.
2. “Y” feature is eld-convertible from “H” type manual override
(omitting spacer), but is not field-convertible from other models.

Eaton 2-part “Insta-Plug”
eliminates breaking electrical
inputs for valve disconnect.
A male half is pre-wired to
the valve body. The mating
plug is inside a wire housing
with external terminals for
machine wire connections.
Captive thumb screws, when
loosened, permit the wire
housing to be pulled clear of
the valve for disconnect. A
longer ground post provides
first make/last break ground
connection.

Subplates, Connection
Plates and Mounting
Surfaces
General description
This range of subplates and
auxiliary connection plates
are for use with size 3 valves.
Optional BSPF or SAE/UNF
pipe thread connections are
available.
The subplates fall into five
groups:
• Single station subplates
with either side or rear
entry ports for connecting
to the main system.
• Multi-station manifolds
having from two to six
stations. The two service
ports per station are ar-
ranged along one side but
the pressure and tank lines
are internally connected in
parallel to each station.
• Tapping plates for insertion
under modules or valves to
provide access to service
lines, e.g. for pressure
gage connection.
• Cross-over plates for inter-
connecting two sets of
service lines at the top of
module stacks when direc-
tional valves are not fitted.
• Blanking plate for termi-
nating a valve station e.g.
when the station is not to
be used until later.
The 2 to 6 multi-station sub-
plates, when used together
with Vickers
®
SystemStak
™
valves, provide very compact
control assemblies.
Plates having machined trap-
ezoidal O-ring recesses are
supplied complete with Viton
O-rings.
On all models, the size 03
mounting face includes a
drilled hole (for a location pin)
in conformance with ANSI/
B93.7M) and (NFPA) size
03. All Eaton size 3 valves
and auxiliary plates contain
a matching location pin to
ensure correct orientation of
the mounting faces.
Design number subject to change. No change of installation dimensions for designs 10 thru 19. “R”
(or “B”) sufx – ISO 228 (BSPF) ports and/or metric attaching bolt tappings. “S” sufx – SAE/UNC
ports and/or UNC attaching bolt tappings.

When a subplate is not used,
a machined pad must be
provided for mounting. The
pad must be flat within 0,01
mm per 100 mm (0.0001" per
1") and smooth within 0,8 μm
(32 μin).
The interface conforms to
ISO 4401-AB-03-4A (size 03)
plus location pin hole
ANSI/B93.7M (and NFPA)

Note:
If not using Eaton's Vickers
®
bolt kits, bolts must be
to Grade 12.9 (ISO 898)
or better.
The required bolt length
should allow 0.40" (10 mm)
thread engagement in the
subplate/manifold block.
Bolts should be torqued to
5–7 N.m (44–62 lbf. in.) with
threads lubricated. Prior to
installation of DG4V-3 valve,
ensure that both the face
of the valve and the face on
which it is being mounted
(i.e subplate, manifold,
SystemStak valve or plate)
is as clean as possible. Do
not over tighten hold-down
bolts beyond recommended
values.

* To obtain optimum service life
from both fluid and hydraulic
system, 65°C (150°F) is the
recommended maximum
fluid temperature, except for
water-containing fluids.
For synthetic fluids, consult
uid manufacturer or Eaton
representative where limits are
outside those for mineral oil.
Whatever the actual tempera-
ture range, ensure that fluid
viscosities stay within the
limits specied in “Hydraulic
Fluids”.
Temperature Limits
Proper fluid condition is es-
sential for long and satisfac-
tory life of hydraulic compo-
nents and systems. Hydraulic
fluid must have the correct
balance of cleanliness, mate-
rials and additives for protec-
tion against wear of compo-
nents, elevated viscosity and
inclusion of air.
Essential information on
the correct methods for
treating hydraulic fluid is
included in Eaton publica-
tion 561;“Vickers Guide to
Systemic Contamination
Control,” available from your
local Eaton distributor or by
contacting Eaton, Incorpo-
rated. Recommendations on
filtration and the selection of
products to control fluid con-
dition are included in 561.
Recommended cleanliness
levels, using petroleum oil
under common conditions,
are based on the highest
fluid pressure levels in the
system and are coded in the
chart below. Fluids other than
petroleum, severe service cy-
cles or temperature extremes
are cause for adjustment of
these cleanliness codes. See
Eaton's Vickers
®
publication
561 for exact details.
Eaton products, as any com-
ponents, will operate with
apparent satisfaction in fluids
with higher cleanliness codes
than those described. Other
manufacturers will often rec-
ommend levels above those
specified.
Experience has shown, how-
ever, that life of any hydraulic
components is shortened
in fluids with higher cleanli-
ness codes than those listed
below. These codes have
been proven to provide a long
trouble-free service life for
the products shown, regard-
less of the manufacturer.
Fire resistant fluids usually
have higher specific gravities
than oil. The specific gravity
of a fluid may be obtained
from its producer.
Fluid Cleanliness
When placing an order,
please specify full model
designations of valves,
subplates and kits. Refer
to relevant “Model Code”
sections.
