The Sun Hydraulics RPICKTV (Material Number: RPICKTV) is a pilot-operated, balanced-piston relief cartridge designed for precise pressure regulation in hydraulic systems. This normally closed valve opens to the tank port when the inlet pressure reaches its set point, effectively throttling flow to maintain a consistent pressure level. The RPICKTV model is known for its accuracy, low-pressure rise versus flow characteristics, smooth operation, and moderate response speed. It is capable of handling maximum pressures at port 2 and is suitable for cross-port relief circuits, although users should account for potential spool leakage in such applications. The main stage orifice of this cartridge is safeguarded by a 150-micron stainless steel screen, ensuring reliable performance. However, it is not recommended for load-holding applications due to potential leakage issues. The valve setting is directly influenced by back pressure on the tank port at a 1:1 ratio. Notably, all two-port relief cartridges from Sun Hydraulics are interchangeable based on frame size and flow path. For systems using phosphate ester fluids, cartridges with EPDM seals are available; however, these seals are incompatible with petroleum-based substances. The RPICKTV can be configured with corrosion-resistant components identified by specific model code suffixes (AP or LH) for use in corrosive environments. This model also incorporates Sun's floating-style construction to minimize binding risks during installation. Key specifications include a cavity size of T-16A Series 3 with a capacity of 100 gpm (380 L/min), maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar), and typical response time of 10 ms. The valve allows up to five clockwise turns for adjustment and features a hex size of 1-1/4 inches (31.8 mm) for installation torque between 150-160 lbf ft (203-217 Nm).

Pilot-operated, balanced-piston relief cartridges are normally closed pressure regulating valves. When the pressure at the inlet (port 1) reaches the valve setting, the valve starts to open to tank (port 2), throttling flow to regulate the pressure. These valves are accurate, have low pressure rise vs. flow, they are smooth and quiet, and are moderately fast.
- Will accept maximum pressure at port 2; suitable for use in cross port relief circuits. If used in cross port relief circuits, consider spool leakage.
- 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.
- All 2-port relief cartridges (except pilot reliefs) are physically and functionally interchangeable (same flow path, same cavity for a given frame size).
- 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.
- W and Y controls (where applicable) can be specified with or without a special setting. When no special setting is specified, the valve is adjustable throughout its full range using the W or Y control. When a special setting is specified, this setting represents the maximum setting of the valve.
- Corrosion resistant cartridge valves are intended for use in corrosive environments and are identified by the model code suffix /AP for external stainless steel components, or /LH for external zinc-nickel plated components. See the CONFIGURATION section for all options. For further details, please see the Materials of Construction page located under TECH RESOURCES.
- 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.
