The Sun Hydraulics DPCPKAV (DPCPKAV) is a pilot-operated, 3-way directional cartridge valve designed for moderate flow circuits. This versatile component can be used independently or to actuate larger pilot-operated directional or logic cartridges. The valve operates by shifting when the pressure differential between port 1 and port 4 exceeds a predetermined setting, allowing it to modulate between two positions rather than being bistable. Port 4 can be blocked to prevent shifting, while port 3 can serve as a work port. The DPCPKAV is interchangeable with direct-acting versions, sharing the same cavities and flow paths. The valve features Sun's floating style construction to reduce the risk of internal parts binding due to excessive installation torque or machining variations. It has a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar) and a capacity of up to 15 gpm (60 L/min). The factory pressure settings are established at a flow rate of 4 gpm (15 L/min), with an adjustment range facilitated by up to 5.5 clockwise turns. Maximum pressure at port 3 should not exceed 3000 psi (210 bar) due to fatigue strength limits rather than hydraulic operating limits. In scenarios where pilot pressure surpasses the valve setting, pilot flow becomes significant; thus, considering performance curves for pilot consumption versus load pressure is crucial. If high pilot flow is problematic, opting for the direct-acting version might be advisable. The DPCPKAV includes specific installation requirements: a valve hex size of 1-1/8 in. (28.6 mm), an installation torque range of 45-50 lbf ft (61-68 Nm), and an adjustment screw internal hex size of 5/32 in. (4 mm). The model weighs approximately .60 lb (.30 kg) and utilizes Viton seal kits for maintenance needs.

Pilot-operated, 3-way directional cartridges (1 to 2 open, 3 blocked) are switching devices typically used in moderate flow circuits. They can be used by themselves or to actuate larger pilot operated directional cartridges or logic cartridges. The valve shifts when the pressure differential between port 1 and port 4 exceeds the setting.
- Port 4 can be blocked to prevent the valve from shifting.
- Port 3 can be used as a work port.
- Direct-acting and pilot-operated versions of these valves are interchangeable. They fit the same cavities and have the same flow paths.
- Pressure at port 4 is directly additive to the setting of the valve.
- This valve is not bistable; it is capable of modulating between the two positions shown.
- Maximum pressure at port 3 should be limited to 3000 psi (210 bar). This is due to fatigue strength limits not hydraulic operating limits.
- When pilot pressure exceeds the valve setting, pilot flow may be a consideration. See performance curves for pilot consumption vs. load pressure above the valve setting. If this is a problem, the direct acting version of this valve would be a solution.
- 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.
