The Sun Hydraulics RPISLCV (Material Number: RPISLCV) is a pilot-operated, balanced-poppet relief cartridge designed as a normally closed pressure regulating valve. This advanced valve opens to the tank port when the inlet pressure reaches the set point, effectively throttling flow to maintain stable pressure levels. Known for its accuracy, smooth operation, and low noise levels, it offers rapid response and minimal pressure rise relative to flow changes. The RPISLCV is built to withstand maximum pressure at port 2, making it suitable for cross-port relief circuits and load-holding applications. Its design ensures resilience against temperature fluctuations and oil contamination, aided by a 150-micron stainless steel screen protecting the main stage orifice. The valve incorporates Sun's floating style construction to reduce the risk of internal binding due to installation torque or machining variations. It can be adjusted throughout its full range using W or Y controls unless a special setting is specified. For corrosive environments, options with external stainless steel or zinc-nickel plating are available under model code suffixes AP or LH. The RPISLCV fits into Cavity T-16A Series 3 with a capacity of 100 gpm (380 L/min) and operates under a maximum pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar). Typical response time is approximately 7 ms, with minimal leakage at reseat conditions. Installation specifications include a valve hex size of 1-1/4 inches (31.8 mm), installation torque of 150-160 lbf ft (203-217 Nm), and an adjustment screw internal hex size of 5/32 inches (4 mm). The locknut requires a hex size of 9/16 inches (15 mm) and torque between 80-90 lbf in (9-10 Nm). The cartridge weighs approximately 1.25 lb (0.60 kg) and uses Viton seal kit number 990316006 for maintenance purposes.

Description

Pilot-operated, balanced-poppet 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, smooth, quiet, fast, and have low pressure rise vs. flow.

Because the modulating occurs inside the cartridge, these valves are immune to most of the problems associated with cavitation, namely noise and manifold erosion.
Will accept maximum pressure at port 2; suitable for use in cross port relief circuits.
Valve is relatively insensitive to varying oil temperatures and oil borne contamination.
Main stage orifice is protected by a 150 micron stainless steel screen.
Suitable for use in load holding applications.
Back pressure on the tank port (port 2) is directly additive to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio.
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.

Show FAQ

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.
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.
How big is a drop of hydraulic oil?	There are exactly 250 Sun drops in a cubic inch or 15 in a cc.
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.
