The Sun Hydraulics RSDCFDN (RSDCFDN) is a pilot-operated, balanced piston sequence valve designed to manage flow to a secondary circuit once the inlet pressure at port 1 surpasses the preset valve setting. Its primary function is to regulate pressure at port 1 relative to the drain port 3, while remaining unaffected by back pressure at port 2 up to the valve setting. This makes it a viable alternative to two-port relief valves in systems where return line pressure is present. The RSDCFDN is part of a series of interchangeable three-port sequence cartridges, which share consistent flow paths and cavity specifications within their frame size. This valve features a main stage orifice shielded by a 150-micron stainless steel screen and can handle pressures at port 3 directly adding to the valve setting in a 1:1 ratio, not exceeding 5000 psi (350 bar). It is not recommended for load-holding applications due to potential spool leakage. The valve can be adjusted using W or Y controls, with options for special settings that denote maximum settings. Corrosion-resistant models are available with external stainless steel (AP) or zinc-nickel plating (LH). The RSDCFDN incorporates Sun\u2019s floating style construction, reducing internal binding risks from installation torque or machining variations. It fits into Cavity T-11A, Series 1, with a capacity of up to 15 gpm (60 L/min). Factory pressure settings are established at 4 gpm (15 L/min), with maximum operating pressure reaching up to 5000 psi (350 bar). Control pilot flow ranges from 7-10 in\u00b3/min (0.11-0.16 L/min), and typical response time is about 10 ms. The valve features minimal leakage rates and various adjustment options for precise control in hydraulic systems.

Pilot-operated, balanced piston sequence valves will supply a secondary circuit with flow once the pressure at the inlet (port 1) has exceeded the valve setting. The pressure setting of a sequence valve controls the pressure at port 1 relative to the pressure at the drain (port 3). These valves are insensitive to back pressure at port 2 (sequence), up to the valve setting. They may be used to regulate pressure in place of 2-port relief valves if there is pressure in the return line.
- All 3 port sequence cartridges are physically and functionally interchangeable (i.e. same flow path, same cavity for a given frame size).
- Pilot flow continues to increase as the pressure at port 1 (inlet), relative to the pressure at port 3 (drain), rises above the valve setting.
- The main stage orifice is protected by a 150 micron stainless steel screen.
- Pressure at port 3 is directly additive to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio and should not exceed 5000 psi (350 bar).
- Not suitable for use in load holding applications due to spool leakage.
- 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.
