DKDR
Normally closed, balanced poppet, logic element - vent-to-open
SERIES 1 / CAPACITY: 15 gpm / CAVITY: T-21A
This is a normally closed, balanced poppet, switching element. When the vent port (port 4) is blocked, the poppet
remains in the closed position. Venting port 4 shifts it to the open position, provided there is sufficient pressure at
port 3.

TECHNICAL FEATURES
Unique balanced construction provides predictable switching with 5000 psi (350 bar) at both ports 1 and 2, with the vent (port 4) open and a minimum pilot pressure
of 400 psi (30 bar) at port 3.
Port 1 and port 2 are fully sealed from port 3 and port 4. Ports 3 and 4 are positively sealed.
Leakage rate between port 1 and port 2 is very low, typically less than 10 drops/min. at 5000 psi (0,7 cc/min at 350 bar).
Valve will reseat when the pilot pressure falls below 145 psi (10 bar).
Port 4 may be externally connected to a pilot switching valve. The pilot valve should have a leakage rate of less than 10 drops/min. and be able to satisfy the pilot
flow requirements. Sun model DAA*-*** solenoid pilot valve is ideal for this application.
All ports will accept 5000 psi (350 bar).
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.
