The Sun Hydraulics NFDCKAN (Material Number: NFDCKAN) is a versatile needle valve designed for precise flow regulation in hydraulic systems. This model is fully adjustable, allowing for fine-tuning from a fully closed position to the maximum orifice diameter. It is not pressure compensated, making it suitable as both a flow control and shutoff valve. The NFDCKAN model features a bidirectional flow path, with the preferred direction being from port 1 to port 2 for compatibility with other flow control devices. Its balanced adjustment mechanism ensures ease of use even at high pressures, while the sharp-edged orifice design minimizes variations in flow due to changes in fluid viscosity. This needle valve is compatible with Sun Hydraulics' 2-port flow control cartridges, sharing the same cavity and flow path for easy interchangeability within a given frame size. However, users should note that cartridge extension dimensions may vary. The valve's construction supports systems operating at a maximum pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar) and accommodates flows up to 12 gpm (45 L/min). It includes an internal hex adjustment screw and locknut with specific torque requirements for secure installation. The NFDCKAN model comes equipped with EPDM seals suitable for phosphate ester fluid systems but should not be exposed to petroleum-based fluids as this could damage the seals. The valve's robust design includes zinc-nickel plating for enhanced corrosion resistance, ensuring longevity even in demanding environments. Additionally, the cartridge's compact size and weight of 0.60 lb (0.30 kg) make it an efficient choice for various hydraulic applications requiring reliable flow control solutions.

Needle valves are fully adjustable orifices used to regulate flow. They are infinitely adjustable from fully closed up to the maximum orifice diameter. They are not pressure compensated and may be used as flow controls or as shutoff valves.
- 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.
- Because needle valves are non-compensating devices, the fixed orifice size will regulate flow through the valve in proportion to the square root of the pressure differential across ports 1 and 2.
- A balanced adjustment mechanism allows for easy adjustment even at high pressures.
- The sharp-edged orifice design minimizes flow variations due to viscosity changes.
- The flow path through this valve is bi-directional. The preferred path is port 1 to 2, to allow interchangeability with other flow controls.
- There is no leakage when the adjustment mechanism is turned to the shut-off position.
- Cartridges configured with EPDM seals are for use in systems with phosphate ester fluids. Exposure to petroleum based fluids, greases and lubricants will damage the seals.
