The Sun Hydraulics FREACAV is a versatile bypass-restrictive, fixed-orifice, priority flow control valve designed to manage hydraulic flow efficiently. This model takes an input flow at port 1 and ensures that the priority flow at port 3 is satisfied first. Any excess input flow beyond the priority requirement is bypassed through port 2, which can be utilized in secondary circuits. Customers must specify a desired flow rating, with factory settings accurate within 10% of the request. The valve allows for a tunable adjustment option offering up to a 22% variation from the nominal preset by adjusting the screw clockwise to increase the flow. Both priority and bypass flows can operate up to the system's maximum pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar), while pressure at port 3 should be limited to 3000 psi (210 bar). The design features a sharp-edged orifice that minimizes variations due to viscosity changes and incorporates Sun's floating style construction, reducing potential binding from installation torque or machining variations. The FREACAV fits into cavity T-17A with a series number of 3 and has a capacity of handling up to 25 gpm (95 L/min). It accommodates maximum input flows of up to 60 gpm (240 L/min) and requires an installation torque between 150-160 lbf ft (203-217 Nm). The adjustment screw requires an internal hex size of 5/32 in. (4 mm), while the locknut uses a hex size of 9/16 in. (15 mm) and a torque of 80-90 lbf in. (9-10 Nm). Weighing approximately 1.25 lb (0.60 kg), this model offers reliable performance for various hydraulic applications requiring precise flow control management.

Bypass/restrictive, fixed-orifice, priority flow controls take an input flow at port 1 and use it to satisfy the priority flow at port 3. If the input flow exceeds the priority flow requirement, the excess is bypassed out port 2. The bypass flow may be used in a secondary circuit.
- Customer must specify a flow rating. Factory set flow ratings are within +/- 10% of the requested setting.
- Maximum pressure at port 3 should be limited to 3000 psi (210 bar).
- A tuneable adjustment control option provides up to +/- 22% variation from the nominal factory pre-set flow. Adjustment is done with +/- 3 turns of the adjust screw. Screw in (CW) to increase flow.
- Both priority and bypass flow are usable up to the system operating pressure.
- Priority remains relatively constant regardless of variation in input flow.
- Bypass flow is not available until priority flow requirements are satisfied.
- Pressure at the bypass port (port 2) may exceed pressure at the priority port (port 3).
- The sharp-edged orifice design minimizes flow variations due to viscosity changes.
- 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.
