Ventable, fast-acting, pilot operated, balanced piston relief valve
SERIES 3 / CAPACITY: 240 L/min. / CAVITY: T-17A
Fast-acting, ventable, pilot-operated, balanced piston relief cartridges are normally closed pressure regulating
valves. When the pressure at the inlet (port 1) reaches the valve setting, the valve starts to open to tank (port 2),
throttling flow to regulate the pressure. They provide a vent port (port 3) that connects between the main piston and
pilot stage to provide for remote control by other pilot or 2-way valves. These valves have low pressure rise vs. flow
and are very fast.

TECHNICAL FEATURES
A remote pilot relief on port 3 (vent) will control the valve below its own setting.
Will accept maximum pressure at port 2; suitable for use in cross port relief circuits. If used in cross port relief circuits, consider spool leakage.
Main stage orifice is protected by a 150 micron stainless steel screen.
Not suitable for use in load holding applications due to spool leakage.
Back pressure on the tank port (port 2) is directly additive to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio.
Incorporates the Sun floating style construction to minimize the possibility of internal parts binding due to excessive installation torque and/or cavity/cartridge
machining variations.
