The Sun Hydraulics FVFALAV (Material Number: FVFALAV) is a ventable, bypass-restrictive, fixed-orifice priority flow control valve designed to manage hydraulic flow with precision and reliability. This valve is engineered to take an input flow at port 1 and prioritize it to port 3, ensuring that any excess flow is bypassed to port 2 for potential use in secondary circuits. The inclusion of a vent port (port 4) allows for remote control of the valve, providing added flexibility in various applications. Users must specify a desired flow rating, with factory settings calibrated within 10% of the requested value. The FVFALAV model features a maximum operating pressure capacity of 5000 psi (350 bar) and can handle input flows up to 120 gpm (480 L/min). Its sharp-edged orifice design minimizes variations due to changes in fluid viscosity, maintaining consistent priority flow regardless of input fluctuations. The valve also includes an adjustable control option that allows for up to a 25% variation from the nominal factory preset flow through three turns of an adjustment screw. This model incorporates Sun's floating style construction, which reduces the risk of internal component binding during installation or due to machining variations. The valve's compact design includes a cavity T-24A series and can handle both priority and bypass flows up to system operating pressure limits. With its robust design and precise control capabilities, the Sun Hydraulics FVFALAV is suitable for applications requiring reliable priority flow management in complex hydraulic systems.

Ventable, 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. A vent port (port 4) allows these valves to be controlled remotely.

  • Customer must specify a flow rating. Factory set flow ratings are within +/- 10% of the requested setting.
  • Using a pressure control on port 4 will limit the pressure at the priority port (port 3). If pressure on the bypass port (port 2) exceeds the setting of the pressure control, priority flow will be shut off and all the flow will go out the bypass port.
  • Maximum pressure at port 3 should be limited to 3000 psi (210 bar).
  • 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, except when the valve is vented. When port 4 (vent) is open, all flow diverts to port 2 if pressure at port 1 (inlet) is 150 psi (10,5 bar) or higher.
  • 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.
  • A tuneable adjustment control option provides up to +/- 25% variation from the nominal factory pre-set flow. Adjustment is done with +/- 3 turns of the adjust screw. Screw in (CW) to increase flow.
  • 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.
