Double redundant dual monitoring valve packages and lockout valves ensure safe hydraulic systems. Two sizes — D03 and D05 — offer flows to 10 and 20 gpm and pressures to 5000 and 4500 psi, respectively. Both valves must be activated to allow fluid and pressure to continue to the circuit. If either is deactivated, the outlet port is directed back to tank. Valves incorporate spool position monitoring switches and two pressure tap ports for monitoring spool position and whether pressure is rising or falling.
