Series 280 directional control valves, specifically designed for offshore hydraulic control and power units, are tolerate pressures to 10,000 psi. Their 316-grade stainless-steel body suits them for harsh environments and prevents corrosion. The shear-type directional valves use an optically flat rotary spool with pressure-loaded seats to ensure near-zero leakage. Variations include six flow patterns, three flow/pressure sizes, three types of hydraulic seal side ports (a manifold O-ring port, straight or cranked handle, sprung center or detent handle), and various mounting options. All valves are factory configurable to the user’s requirements.
