While efforts have been made to provide accurate details, inaccuracies may occur. It is advised to verify all information by contacting Sun Hydraulics directly.***
The Sun Hydraulics RSDCMEN (RSDCMEN) is a pilot-operated, balanced piston sequence valve designed to supply a secondary circuit with flow once the pressure at the inlet port 1 exceeds the valve setting. It features a pressure setting that controls the pressure at port 1 relative to the drain port 3, making it insensitive to back pressure at port 2 up to the valve setting. This model can regulate pressure in place of two-port relief valves if there is pressure in the return line. All three-port sequence cartridges are interchangeable, ensuring compatibility across similar frame sizes. As the inlet pressure at port 1 rises above the valve setting, pilot flow continues to increase. The main stage orifice is safeguarded by a 150-micron stainless steel screen, and pressure at port 3 directly adds to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio, with a maximum limit of 5000 psi (350 bar). This model is not suitable for load-holding applications due to spool leakage. Adjustments can be made using W or Y controls throughout their full range unless specified otherwise for special settings. The corrosion-resistant design includes options for external stainless steel components or zinc-nickel plating identified by suffixes AP or LH in the model code. The Sun floating style construction reduces internal part binding risks due to installation torque and machining variations. With a cavity T-11A, Series 1 capacity of 15 gpm (60 L/min), and factory settings established at 4 gpm (15 L/min), this valve operates under a maximum pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar). It has specific adjustment features and requires certain torque specifications during installation. The model weighs approximately .30 lb (.15 kg) and uses Viton seal kits with part number 990011006 for maintenance purposes.

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.
