The Sun Hydraulics RVED8WV (Material Number: RVED8WV) is a versatile, normally closed modulating valve designed with an integral pilot control cavity. This valve is ventable, externally drained, and features a balanced piston design, making it suitable for various hydraulic applications. It can accept any T8A pressure control cartridge to regulate pressure by throttling flow from inlet port 1 to tank port 2 when the set pressure is reached. The RVED8WV is particularly useful in cross-port relief circuits as it can handle maximum pressure at port 2. However, it is not recommended for load-holding applications due to spool leakage. The main stage orifice of the valve is protected by a 150-micron stainless steel screen, ensuring durability and reliability in demanding environments. The valve's construction incorporates Sun's floating style to minimize internal binding risks due to installation torque or machining variations. With a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar) and a capacity of 30 gpm (120 L/min), this valve offers robust performance. For precise control, the RVED8WV allows pilot control cartridges to be incorporated directly into the relief cartridge via the T8A cavity. These cartridges are sold separately and include options for electroproportional, solenoid, air pilot, and hydraulic pilot operation. It's important to note that cartridges configured with EPDM seals are intended for systems using phosphate ester fluids and should not be exposed to petroleum-based substances. Installation requires specific torque values: the main stage valve should be installed first at 45-50 lbf ft (61-68 Nm), followed by the T8A pilot control valve at its required torque of 20-25 lbf ft (27-33 Nm). The RVED8WV weighs .70 lbs (.30 kg) and features a hex size of 1 1/8 inches (28.6 mm) for convenient handling during installation.

Description

This valve is a normally closed modulating element that incorporates an integral pilot control cavity. It is ventable, externally drained, and is a balanced piston design. The pilot control cavity will accept any T-8A pressure control cartridge. When the pressure at the inlet (port 1) reaches the pilot control cartridge setting, the modulating element starts to open to tank (port 2), throttling flow to regulate the pressure. The pilot cartridge's setting determines the difference in pressure between the inlet (port 1) and the drain (port 4). The vent port (port 3) that tees in between the main piston and pilot control cartridge, allows the modulating element to also be controlled by remote pilot or 2-way valves.

Will accept maximum pressure at port 2; suitable for use in cross port relief circuits.
Main stage orifice is protected by a 150 micron stainless steel screen.
Not suitable for use in load holding applications due to spool leakage.
Pressure at port 4 is directly additive to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio and should not exceed 5000 psi (350 bar).
NOTE: With the -8 control option, the main stage valve should first be installed to the correct torque value. The T-8A pilot control valve should then be installed into the main stage valve to its required torque value.
The -8 control option allows the pilot control valve to be incorporated directly into the end of the relief cartridge via the T-8A cavity. These pilot control cartridges are sold separately and include electro-proportional, solenoid, air pilot, and hydraulic pilot operation. See Pilot Control Cartridges.
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.
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.

Compound cartridge (pilot and main stage) assembly information is provided for reference only. Cartridges must be ordered separately and assembled at point of use.

How do I get a kick-down relief to reset?	The kick-down relief acts much like a circuit breaker. When the pressure at the inlet (port 1) of the relief valve rises to the setting, the valve pops open and drops the pressure down to 100 psi or so. The valve stays open until flow through it stops. Shutting off the supply of oil will reset the valve; reversing pressure on the valve is a positive way of resetting it.
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.
How big is a drop of hydraulic oil?	There are exactly 250 Sun drops in a cubic inch or 15 in a cc.
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.
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.
