MODEL
PVDB
Ventable, pilot operated, pressure reducing/relieving valve
SERIES 1 / CAPACITY: 40 L/min. / CAVITY: T-21A
Ventable, pilot-operated pressure reducing/relieving valves reduce a high primary pressure at the inlet to a
constant reduced pressure at port 1, with a full-flow relief function from port 1 to tank (port 3). The vent port (port
4) can be used as a means for remote control by pilot or 2-way valves.

TECHNICAL FEATURES
Pressure at port 3 is directly additive to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio and should not exceed 3000 psi (210 bar).
Pilot operated valves exhibit very low dead-band transition between reducing and relieving modes.
Recommended maximum inlet pressure is determined by the adjustment range. Ranges D, E, N, and Q are tested with a 2000 psi (140 bar) maximum differential
between inlet and reduced pressure. Ranges A, B, and H are tested with a 3000 psi (210 bar) maximum differential between inlet and reduced pressure. Ranges
C and W are tested with 5000 psi (350 bar) of inlet pressure.
Maximum pressure differentials for spring ranges: A and B are 3000 psi (210 bar) D and E are 2000 psi (140 bar) W is 5000 psi (350 bar) inlet pressure

Pilot operated valves exhibit exceptionally flat pressure/flow characteristics, are very stable and have low hysteresis.
Full reverse flow from reduced pressure (port 1) to inlet (port 2) may cause the main spool to close. If reverse free flow is required in the circuit, consider adding a
separate check valve to the circuit.
By controlling the pressure at the vent (port 4), the effective setting of the valve can be controlled below the nominal valve setting.
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.
