Overview
This document provides technical specifications and applications for hydraulic valves and components manufactured by Snap-tite, including check valves, control valves, and directional control valves, highlighting their construction, flow rates, pressure capacities, and suitable applications.
Hydraulic Check ValvesThe 6C & 3C series and CPIFF series check valves feature self-dampening action, zero leakage poppet
check valve style, and are available in sizes from 1/4" to 1". Constructed from plated steel or brass, they handle flow rates up to 50 US gpm (189 l/min) and pressures up to 5,000 psi (345 bar), suitable for industrial, mobile, and construction equipment applications.
Differential Pressure Relief Valves
The RDC, RDV, MCD, and MDD series protect systems against pressure surges with fast operating action, supporting flow rates up to 40 US gpm (155 l/min) and pressures from 500 to 4,000 psi (35 to 276 bar). Applications include system pressure protection and dynamic braking in hydraulic systems.
Flow Control Valves
Fixed and adjustable flow control valves, such as the FRI and FRIA series, provide accurate flow regulation and actuator speed control, offering flow capabilities up to 30 US gpm (115 l/min) and are pressure compensated. Suitable for industrial and mobile applications, they are constructed from plated steel.
Directional Control Valves
The Marstan and Direc-Trol series feature pressure-loaded face seals for minimal internal leakage and are available with various operators, supporting flow rates up to 83 US gpm (315 l/min) and pressures up to 5,000 psi (345 bar). Applications include manual operation of actuators and high-pressure clamping.
