Operation

N/A The RS08 allows free flow from port 2 (inlet) to port 1 (load). Flow from port 1 to port 2 is blocked until either the pressure setting has been reached or sufficient pilot pressure has been applied to port 3 (pilot). The RS08 has optional 3:1 and 4:1 pilot ratios. It will open when pilot pressure = 1/3 (or 1/4) of the difference between the set pressure and the load pressure.

Features

N/A

  • Excellent stability through entire flow range
  • Adjustable across specified pressure range
  • Positive stop prevents spring from over adjustment (options V, H)
  • Stroke limiting device for enhanced safety
  • Internal seals to minimize leakage
  • Same cavity as the RP08A-01 P.O. Check valve
  • Hardened poppet and seat to ensure extended service life and low leakage
  • All external surfaces zinc-plated
  • Industry common cavity

Note

N/A Subject to technical modifications

Rotating adjustment screw clockwise increases the pressure setting
