The Sun Hydraulics RSFSKAV (RSFSKAV) is a pilot-operated, balanced poppet sequence valve designed to supply a secondary circuit with flow once the pressure at the inlet port 1 exceeds the preset valve setting. It maintains control of pressure at port 1 relative to the drain port 3, remaining unaffected by back pressure at port 2 up to the valve setting. This makes it suitable for regulating pressure in place of two-port relief valves when there's pressure in the return line. The RSFSKAV is interchangeable with other three-port sequence cartridges within the same frame size, featuring consistent flow paths and cavity dimensions. The valve's design includes a 150-micron stainless steel screen protecting the main stage orifice and allows for maximum pressure at port 2, making it apt for cross-port relief circuits and load holding applications. Its construction minimizes issues like cavitation-related noise and manifold erosion by modulating inside the cartridge. With a capacity of 30 gpm (120 L/min) and a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar), it responds typically within 10 ms. The factory-established pressure settings are set at a flow rate of 4 gpm (15 L/min). The RSFSKAV features Sun's floating style construction, reducing risks of internal part binding due to excessive installation torque or machining variations. It requires an installation torque between 45-50 lbf ft (61-68 Nm), with an adjustment screw internal hex size of 5/32 in (4 mm). The valve's locknut hex size is 9/16 in (15 mm) with a recommended locknut torque of 80-90 lbf in (9-10 Nm). Additionally, it has minimal leakage at reseat, measuring up to only ten drops per minute or approximately 0.7 cc/min. The unit weighs approximately .50 lb (.25 kg) and uses Viton seal kits for enhanced durability and performance.

Pilot-operated, balanced poppet 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).
- Suitable for use in load holding applications.
- 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.
- 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.
