The Sun Hydraulics WSI (Material Number: WSI) is a line mount manifold designed to facilitate high-flow hydraulic applications. This manifold features a through port 2 with an additional gauge port, enhancing its versatility in monitoring and controlling hydraulic systems. It is constructed with two mounting holes threaded at .375-16 UNC 2B, each with a depth of .62 inches, ensuring secure and stable installation. The manifold accommodates one open cavity designed for T-2A cartridges and has SAE 10 port sizes, which are standard for many hydraulic systems. The WSI model is crafted from 6061-T651 aluminum, known for its robust corrosion resistance and relative strength while remaining cost-effective. This material choice ensures the manifold's durability in various environments without the need for anodizing, which can negatively impact fatigue life by inducing cracks under pressure. Users should note that aluminum manifolds like this one have a maximum pressure rating of 3000 psi (210 bar), making them suitable for moderate-pressure applications but not advisable for higher-pressure systems. This product is ideal for integrating into custom hydraulic circuits where reliable performance and ease of installation are critical. Its design supports seamless incorporation into existing systems or new setups requiring efficient fluid control and monitoring capabilities. The inclusion of a gauge port further aids in precise system diagnostics and maintenance, ensuring optimal performance over time.

Show FAQ

How big is a drop of hydraulic oil?	There are exactly 250 Sun drops in a cubic inch or 15 in a cc.
Why does Sun use 6061 aluminum?	6061-T651 is relatively strong, relatively inexpensive, difficult to machine, readily available in all shapes and sizes and very corrosion resistant. 2024 is stronger and machines beautifully, but is expensive and falls to pieces in a corrosive environment.
Why doesn't Sun anodize their aluminum bodies?	Reasons to anodize: To increase corrosion resistance. Sun uses 6061-T651 aluminum. It is one of the most corrosion resistant aluminum alloys there is. Whether or not anodizing improves the corrosion resistance of 6061 aluminum is debatable. We have yet to have a manifold returned because of corrosion. Appearance (color). The 2 colors that would appeal to Sun would be blue or black. Unfortunately these are the colors that are hardest to do consistently. To provide a hard wear surface. Sun does not make parts-in-body valves. The manifold is just plumbing. We don't need a wear surface. Because everyone else does it. Bad reason. Reasons to not anodize: Cost. It's another process. Logistics. When you make tens of thousands of manifolds a month and you anodize hundreds, it's a problem. Consistency. See above. Stamping. After a body is anodized you cannot do any more stamping without making a mess.Inspection. Have you ever tried to look for burrs in a black anodized body? It's the old blackboard factory at night scenario. Torque. You will experience an increase in breakaway torque when removing items from an anodized manifold. Fatigue life. This is the best reason to not anodize. Fatigue failure is a very complex phenomenon. What it takes to initiate a crack is difficult to predict. What it takes to propagate a crack is readily defined. Anodizing produces a very thin, very hard, and very brittle surface on aluminum. The first time you pressurize an anodized aluminum manifold you have initiated fatigue cracks. Whether or not the stress is enough to propagate the cracks is a matter of pressure and manifold geometry. Anodizing an aluminum manifold grossly reduces the fatigue life by anywhere from 20% to 50%.

Notes:

Important: Carefully consider the maximum system pressure. The pressure rating of the manifold is dependent on the manifold material, with the port type/size a secondary consideration. Manifolds constructed of aluminum are not rated for pressures higher than 3000 psi (210 bar), regardless of the port type/size specified.
