The Sun Hydraulics PRDCCWN (Material Number: PRDCCWN) is a direct-acting pressure reducing valve designed to manage high primary pressure at inlet port 2, reducing it to a stable, consistent pressure at port 1. This valve features a damped construction, allowing for stable operation and the use of high reduced pressure. It transitions slightly open from reducing to relieving mode, ensuring excellent pressure control with minimal oil consumption of approximately 0.1 gpm (0.4 L/min). The valve is particularly effective in systems with phosphate ester fluids due to its EPDM seals; however, exposure to petroleum-based fluids can damage these seals. For circuits requiring reverse free flow from port 1 to port 2, the addition of a separate check valve is recommended as reverse flow may cause the main spool to close. Tested under conditions of up to 5000 psi (350 bar) inlet pressure, this direct-acting valve provides reliable performance even in contaminated systems and deadheaded conditions. Its dynamic response surpasses that of equivalent pilot-operated models. The valve setting can be adjusted by increasing the pressure at port 3 directly at a 1:1 ratio, maintaining stability for pressures not exceeding 5000 psi (350 bar). Leakage from port 3 is proportional to pressure differential and inversely proportional to viscosity. The interchangeable design allows it to fit various configurations with other three-port pressure reducing and reducing-relieving cartridges. With a capacity of up to 10 gpm (40 L/min), the PRDCCWN model incorporates Sun's floating style construction, minimizing risks associated with internal part binding due to installation torque or machining variations. The model weighs approximately .30 lb (0.15 kg) and features adjustment capabilities for precise control settings, making it suitable for diverse hydraulic applications requiring robust and efficient pressure regulation.

Description

Direct-acting, pressure reducing valves reduce a high primary pressure at the inlet (port 2) to a constant reduced pressure at port 1. These valves incorporate a damped construction for stable operation allowing the use of high reduced pressure. This valve is open in the transition from reducing to relieving. It provides good pressure control and dynamic response.

The transition from reducing to relieving is slightly open. The result is very good pressure control with oil consumption of about 0.1 gpm (0,4 L/min.). The relatively high pilot control flow is only a factor in a dead-headed condition.
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.
Full reverse flow from reduced pressure (port 1) to inlet (port 2) may cause the main spool to close. If reverse free flow is required in the circuit, consider adding a separate check valve to the circuit.
All spring ranges are tested for correct operation with 5000 psi (350 bar) inlet pressure.
Direct acting concept provides highly reliable operation in contaminated systems, especially at dead headed conditions.
Direct operated version offers superior dynamic response compared to equivalent pilot operated models.
Pressure at port 3 is directly additive to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio and should not exceed 5000 psi (350 bar).
Leakage specified in Technical Data is out of port 3 with a supply pressure of 2000 psi (140 bar) and the valve set at mid range. This leakage is directly proportional to pressure differential and inversely proportional to viscosity expressed in centistokes.
All three-port pressure reducing and reducing/relieving cartridges are physically interchangeable (i.e. same flow path, same cavity for a given frame size). When considering mounting configurations, it is sometimes recommended that a full capacity return line (port 3) be used with reducing/relieving cartridges.
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.

Show FAQ

What do you mean by maximum differential?	Our reducing valves are outside-in valves; the supply pressure on the outside of the working parts is higher than the inside. At some pressure differential, the outside (sleeve) will close in on the piston and cause the valve to stick. A D range is adjustable from 25 to 800 psi with a maximum differential of 2000 psi. This means you could set the valve at 600 psi and expect it to work correctly with a supply pressure of 2600 psi. The valve may work at higher differentials, but we do not recommend it. The W and C ranges are tested over their entire range with an inlet pressure of 5000 psi. All direct-acting valves are tested with an inlet pressure of 5000 psi.
Will your reducing/relieving valve relieve my pump to tank?	No. A reducing/relieving valve throttles a supply of oil to maintain a set pressure in a secondary circuit. The valve is open until the secondary or downstream pressure rises to the setting of the valve at which time it starts to close to limit the pressure. If the secondary or downstream pressure is caused to go above the setting, the valve shifts into relieving mode and throttles the secondary circuit back to tank to prevent over-pressure. At no time can the valve connect the supply to tank.
How big is a drop of hydraulic oil?	There are exactly 250 Sun drops in a cubic inch or 15 in a cc.
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.
Can I back flow through a reducing valve from port 1 to port 2?	Yes. A reducing or reducing/relieving valve is normally open. If the pressure in the secondary circuit is less than the setting, it will be open.2 caveats: (1) If the valve is in the reducing mode and you suddenly reverse the flow, the valve will not have time to open and will shift into relieving mode or (2) If the back flow generates a pressure drop through the valve that exceeds the setting, the valve will shift into the relieving mode.When in doubt, use a reverse flow check.
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.
I need a reducer on B. Can I connect the drain to A?	Yes. If you look in the sandwich section you will see that we offer many such packages. When you are pressurizing B, A is connected to tank, allowing the reducer to do its job. When you reverse, the drain or tank port of the reducer is pressurized by A. This increases the setting of the reducer and helps keep the reducer open in the reverse flow direction.

For Series 1 cartridges configured with an O control (panel mount handknob), a .75 in. (19 mm) diameter hole is required in the panel.
