SERIES 34 – GENERAL INFORMATION: The Brand, Series 34 Sectional Directional Control Valves are assembled to meet our customer’s requirements for up to twelve individual applications per assembly. Brand Hydraulics does not charge anything extra for this process and assembly is priced solely on the overall sum of the prices of its components. When assembled in their normal manner the series 34 spool sections are in parallel. When the spools are in neutral position the flow passes by each spool and then onto the tank (outlet) port. If two or more spools are shifted simultaneously their work ports...
