The Sun Hydraulics DRCOLEV (Material Number: DRCOLEV) is a direct-acting, 3-way directional cartridge valve designed for use in moderate flow circuits. This versatile component can function independently or to actuate larger pilot-operated directional cartridges or logic cartridges. It operates by shifting when the pressure differential between port 1 and port 4 exceeds its set value. Port 3 serves as a work port, with the maximum allowable pressure capped at 3000 psi (210 bar) due to fatigue strength constraints. The valve's direct-acting design ensures low internal leakage and minimal pilot flow consumption, making it efficient and reliable. This valve is not bistable; it modulates between two positions based on system demands. It features interchangeable compatibility with pilot-operated versions, sharing the same cavities and flow paths. The DRCOLEV incorporates Sun's floating style construction, which minimizes the risk of internal part binding due to excessive installation torque or cavity machining variations. It fits into cavity T22A, with a series number of 2 and a capacity of 15 gpm (60 L/min). Factory pressure settings are established at a flow rate of 4 gpm (15 L/min), while the maximum operating pressure reaches up to 5000 psi (350 bar). The valve's adjustment involves up to five clockwise turns to increase the setting, with specific hex sizes for both the valve and locknut. Installation torque ranges from 45 to 50 lbf ft (61 to 68 Nm), while locknut torque is specified between 80 and 90 lbf in (9 to 10 Nm). Weighing .55 lb (.25 kg), this model utilizes Viton seal kits for reliable sealing performance under various conditions.

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.
