The Sun Hydraulics RPIC8WN (Material Number: RPIC8WN) is a sophisticated, normally closed modulating valve designed with an integral pilot control cavity. This balanced piston valve accepts any T8A pressure control cartridge, allowing for precise pressure regulation. When the inlet port 1 reaches the preset pressure of the pilot control cartridge, the modulating element opens to tank port 2, throttling flow to maintain desired pressure levels. This valve is highly versatile as it can handle maximum pressure at port 2 and is suitable for cross-port relief circuits. However, it is not recommended for load-holding applications due to spool leakage. The main stage orifice features a protective 150-micron stainless steel screen, ensuring durability and reliability in various applications. The RPIC8WN incorporates Sun's floating style construction to minimize internal binding from excessive torque or machining variations. The valve installation requires specific torque values: 150-160 lbf ft (203-217 Nm) for the main stage and additional torquing for the T8A pilot control valve. With a capacity of 100 gpm (380 L/min) and a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar), this valve is robust enough for demanding hydraulic systems. It features a control pilot flow range of 15-20 in\u00b3/min (0.25-0.33 L/min) with a main stage leakage rate of 4 in\u00b3/min at 1000 psi (65 cc/min at 70 bar). The RPIC8WN's compact design includes a hex size of 1\u00bc inches (31.8 mm) and weighs approximately 1.20 lb (0.55 kg). It also supports various pilot control options such as electroproportional, solenoid, air pilot, and hydraulic pilot operations\u2014offering flexibility across different system requirements.

Description

This valve is a normally closed modulating element that incorporates an integral pilot control cavity. It is a balanced piston design. The pilot control cavity will accept any T-8A pressure control cartridge. When the pressure at the inlet (port 1) reaches the pilot control cartridge's setting, the modulating element starts to open to tank (port 2), throttling flow to regulate the pressure. The pilot cartridge's setting determines the difference in pressure between port 1 and port 2.

All 2-port relief cartridges (except pilot reliefs) are physically and functionally interchangeable (same flow path, same cavity for a given frame size).
Will accept maximum pressure at port 2; suitable for use in cross port relief circuits.
Main stage orifice is protected by a 150 micron stainless steel screen.
Not suitable for use in load holding applications due to spool leakage.
Back pressure on the tank port (port 2) is directly additive to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio.
NOTE: With the -8 control option, the main stage valve should first be installed to the correct torque value. The T-8A pilot control valve should then be installed into the main stage valve to its required torque value.
The -8 control option allows the pilot control valve to be incorporated directly into the end of the relief cartridge via the T-8A cavity. These pilot control cartridges are sold separately and include electro-proportional, solenoid, air pilot, and hydraulic pilot operation. See Pilot Control Cartridges.
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.

How do I get a kick-down relief to reset?	The kick-down relief acts much like a circuit breaker. When the pressure at the inlet (port 1) of the relief valve rises to the setting, the valve pops open and drops the pressure down to 100 psi or so. The valve stays open until flow through it stops. Shutting off the supply of oil will reset the valve; reversing pressure on the valve is a positive way of resetting it.
Where would I use a kick-down relief?	One graphic example is on a portable grain auger for silos. When the farmer gets caught in the auger the kick-down relief trips and allows him to escape.
How big is a drop of hydraulic oil?	There are exactly 250 Sun drops in a cubic inch or 15 in a cc.
What are the tolerances on pressure settings for Sun's pressure control valves?	Pressure setting tolerances are listed in our Performance Data page. A link to this page can also be found in the Additional Resources tab of the applicable product page.
Can I use a kick-down relief for my system relief?	Maybe not. We build in a good amount of overlap in the kick-down reliefs to prevent false tripping. This means they are not as fast as our standard pilot-operated reliefs. A direct-acting relief valve set just above the kick-down relief valve would be good insurance.
Direct acting or pilot operated - what do I use?	Direct-acting valves are used to prevent over pressure, and pilot-operated valves are used to regulate pressure. If you are unsure, use a direct-acting valve. Sun's direct acting valves are very fast, dirt tolerant, stable, and robust. Sun's pilot-operated valves are moderately fast, they have a low pressure rise vs. flow curve, and they are easy to adjust.
