The Sun Hydraulics FCDBRAV (Material Number: FCDBRAV) is a fixed orifice, pressure-compensated flow control valve with a reverse flow check, designed for precise flow regulation in both meter-in and meter-out applications where pressure fluctuations may occur. This cartridge valve features an integral high-capacity check valve allowing unrestricted flow from port 2 to port 1. The user specifies the flow setting, which is factory-set within a 10% range of the requested value. All two-port flow control cartridges are interchangeable in terms of flow path and cavity size, although extension dimensions may vary. The sharp-edged orifice design minimizes variations due to viscosity changes, while the tunable control option allows for a 25% variation from the nominal factory preset flow by adjusting clockwise to increase the setting. This model is corrosion-resistant and suitable for use in corrosive environments, identifiable by suffixes AP for stainless steel components or LH for zinc-nickel plated components. It incorporates Sun's floating style construction to reduce the risk of internal parts binding due to excessive torque or machining variations. The FCDBRAV fits into a T-5A cavity and belongs to Series 2 with a capacity of up to 12 gpm (45 L/min). It can operate at a maximum pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar) with installation torques between 45-50 lbf ft (61-68 Nm). The adjustment screw requires an internal hex size of 5/32 in. (4 mm), while the locknut hex size is 9/16 in. (15 mm) with torque specifications between 80-90 lbf in. (9-10 Nm). Weighing approximately .50 lb (0.25 kg), this model uses Viton seal kits for durability under various conditions.
