The Sun Hydraulics DRCOCAV (DRCOCAV) is a direct-acting, 3-way directional cartridge valve designed for moderate flow circuits. This versatile valve is primarily used for switching applications, where it can function independently or actuate larger pilot-operated directional or logic cartridges. It operates by shifting when the pressure differential between port 1 and port 4 surpasses a predetermined setting. Notably, port 3 serves as a work port with a maximum pressure limit of 3000 psi (210 bar), dictated by fatigue strength rather than hydraulic operating limits. This valve's direct-acting design ensures low internal leakage and minimal pilot flow consumption. Moreover, it can be interchanged with pilot-operated versions, as they share the same cavity and flow paths. The DRCOCAV is not bistable; it modulates between two positions based on pressure changes, with pressure at port 4 directly influencing its setting. Its construction incorporates Sun's floating style to minimize potential binding due to installation torque or machining variations. Technical specifications include a T22A cavity, Series 2 classification, and a capacity of up to 15 gpm (60 L/min). Factory pressure settings are established at 4 gpm (15 L/min), with a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar). Valve leakage at standard conditions is limited to 2 in\u00b3/min (30 cc/min). The adjustment mechanism allows for up to five clockwise turns to increase the setting, with specific hex sizes provided for both the valve and locknut adjustments. The model weighs .55 lb (.25 kg) and uses Viton seals in its cartridge design.

Direct-acting, 3-way directional cartridges (1 blocked, 2 to 3 open) 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 3 can be used as a work port.
- Because of their direct-acting design, these cartridges feature low internal leakage and low pilot flow consumption.
- 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.
- 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.
