The Sun Hydraulics PPFFKEN (PPFFKEN) is a pilot-operated, pressure reducing-relieving valve designed to reduce a high primary pressure at the inlet port 2 to a constant reduced pressure at port 1, while providing a full-flow relief function from port 1 to tank port 3. The valve features a unique design where the main stage orifice is drilled into the piston, enhancing its durability in physically demanding applications. It has a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar) and is characterized by exceptionally stable and flat pressure-flow characteristics with low hysteresis. The valve is adjustable through various ranges depending on the differential between inlet and reduced pressures, with specific ranges tested up to an inlet pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar). If reverse free flow from reduced pressure port 1 to inlet port 2 is required, it is recommended to include a separate check valve in the circuit. The PPFFKEN model incorporates Sun\u2019s floating style construction to minimize internal binding due to installation torque or machining variations. It also features an adjustment mechanism that allows for precise control of settings with up to 55 clockwise turns. The valve's installation requires specific torque settings for optimal performance, ensuring reliability and efficiency in hydraulic systems. Additionally, it offers interchangeable compatibility with other three-port cartridges of similar frame size, making it versatile for various configurations. For applications requiring superior dynamic response or critical pilot flow consumption, direct-acting valves may be considered as an alternative solution.

Pilot-operated, pressure reducing/relieving valves reduce a high primary pressure at the inlet (port 2) to a constant reduced pressure at port 1, with a full-flow relief function from port 1 to tank (port 3).
- These valves have the main stage orifice drilled into the piston rather than a staked-in orifice. This allows the valve to survive physically demanding applications.
- Pressure at port 3 is directly additive to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio and should not exceed 3000 psi (210 bar).
- Maximum pressure at port 3 should be limited to 3000 psi (210 bar).
- Recommended maximum inlet pressure is determined by the adjustment range. Ranges D, E, N, and Q are tested with a 2000 psi (140 bar) maximum differential between inlet and reduced pressure. Ranges A, B, and H are tested with a 3000 psi (210 bar) maximum differential between inlet and reduced pressure. Ranges C and W are tested with 5000 psi (350 bar) of inlet pressure.
- Pilot operated valves exhibit exceptionally flat pressure/flow characteristics, are very stable and have low hysteresis.
- 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.
- If pilot flow consumption is critical, consider using direct acting reducing/relieving valves.
- 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.
- Pilot operated reducing, reducing/relieving valves by nature are not fast acting valves. For superior dynamic response, consider direct acting valves.
- 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.
- 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.
