DIRECTIONAL VALVES
EV12-S34 Vented Spool-Type Logic Element
DESCRIPTION
A spool-type, screw-in, cartridge-style, hydraulic directional element, with multi-
function potential when used with other directional, pressure, or fl ow control devices.
OPERATION
The EV12-S34 is a spring-biased blocking valve which will shift to allow full fl ow from
to only when is vented to create a pressure drop across the internal orifi ce
which exceeds the pressure value of the selected bias spring force.
EV12-S34 is a vent-to-open directional valve.
FEATURES
Multiple function/application potential.
Smooth shift transition.
Low pressure drop.
Industry common cavity.
