The Sun Hydraulics RPECQDN (RPECQDN) is a pilot-operated, balanced-piston relief cartridge valve designed for precise pressure regulation. This normally closed valve opens to the tank port when the inlet pressure reaches the set threshold, allowing it to throttle flow and maintain desired pressure levels. Known for its accuracy and low pressure rise versus flow characteristics, this valve operates smoothly and quietly with moderate response speed. It features a 150-micron stainless steel screen protecting the main stage orifice and is compatible with cross port relief circuits, although users should consider spool leakage in such applications. This model is not recommended for load-holding applications due to potential spool leakage. The RPECQDN accommodates maximum pressures up to 5000 psi (350 bar) and has a typical response time of 10 ms. It supports a flow capacity of up to 25 gpm (95 L/min) with minimal leakage at specified conditions. Users can adjust the valve setting across its full range using W or Y controls unless a special setting is specified, which then defines the maximum setting. The valve's construction includes corrosion-resistant options identified by suffixes AP or LH for external stainless steel or zinc-nickel plated components, respectively. Installation requires a torque of 30-35 lbf ft (41-47 Nm), with an adjustment screw internal hex size of 5/32 in (4 mm). The locknut torque specification is between 80-90 lbf in (9-10 Nm). The cartridge seal kit uses Viton material, suitable for systems using phosphate ester fluids; exposure to petroleum-based fluids can damage these seals. The design incorporates Sun's floating style construction to minimize binding risks from installation torque variations or machining discrepancies.

Pilot-operated, balanced-piston relief cartridges are normally closed pressure regulating valves. When the pressure at the inlet (port 1) reaches the valve setting, the valve starts to open to tank (port 2), throttling flow to regulate the pressure. These valves are accurate, have low pressure rise vs. flow, they are smooth and quiet, and are moderately fast.
- All 2-port relief cartridges (except pilot reliefs) are physically and functionally interchangeable (same flow path, same cavity for a given frame size).
- Will accept maximum pressure at port 2; suitable for use in cross port relief circuits. If used in cross port relief circuits, consider spool leakage.
- Main stage orifice is protected by a 150 micron stainless steel screen.
- Not suitable for use in load holding applications due to spool leakage.
- Back pressure on the tank port (port 2) is directly additive to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio.
- 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.
- 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.
