The Sun Hydraulics FDBALBE (Material Number: FDBALBE) is a fully adjustable, pressure-compensated flow control valve with a reverse-flow check feature designed for precise flow regulation in both meter-in and meter-out applications. This model is particularly effective in scenarios where there are significant pressure fluctuations. The valve allows for infinite adjustment from nearly closed to the maximum flow rate of 6 gpm (23 L/min). It includes an integral high-capacity check valve that ensures unrestricted flow from port 2 to port 1. All two-port flow control cartridges, including this model, are physically and functionally interchangeable, meaning they share the same flow path and cavity for a given frame size, although cartridge extension dimensions may vary. The balanced adjustment mechanism facilitates easy adjustments even at high pressures, and its sharp-edged orifice design minimizes variations in flow due to changes in viscosity. With minimal leakage of .1 gpm (0.4 L/min) when fully shut off, this cartridge is highly efficient. This particular model fits into a T-13A cavity and belongs to Series 1 with a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar). The adjustment mechanism allows up to 5.5 counterclockwise turns from fully closed to fully open positions. Installation requires a valve hex size of 7/8 inch (22.2 mm) with a torque specification between 30 - 35 lbf-ft (41 - 47 Nm). Additionally, it features an internal hex size for the adjustment screw at 5/32 inch (4 mm), and the locknut requires a hex size of 9/16 inch (15 mm) with a torque range of 80 - 90 lbf-in (9 - 10 Nm). For systems using phosphate ester fluids, cartridges with EPDM seals are recommended as exposure to petroleum-based fluids will damage these seals.

Fully adjustable, pressure-compensated flow controls with reverse-flow check provide precise flow regulation for meter-in or meter-out applications where there may be wide pressure fluctuations. They are infinitely adjustable from nearly closed up to the maximum flow. An integral high-capacity check valve provides unrestricted flow from port 2 to port 1.
- All 2-port flow control cartridges are physically and functionally interchangeable (i.e. same flow path, same cavity for a given frame size). However, cartridge extension dimensions from the mounting surface may vary.
- A balanced adjustment mechanism allows for easy adjustment even at high pressures.
- The sharp-edged orifice design minimizes flow variations due to viscosity changes.
- Minimum leakage is .1 gpm (0,4 L/min) when the adjustment mechanism is turned to the shut-off position.
- Cartridges with EPDM seals are for use in systems with phosphate ester fluids. Exposure to petroleum based fluids, greases and lubricants will damage the seals.
