The Sun Hydraulics RPECLBV/LH (RPECLBV/LH) is a pilot-operated, balanced-piston relief cartridge valve designed to regulate pressure in hydraulic systems. This normally closed valve opens to the tank port when the inlet pressure reaches the set threshold, effectively throttling flow to maintain consistent pressure levels. Known for its accuracy and smooth operation, the RPECLBV/LH offers low pressure rise versus flow and operates quietly with moderate speed. It features a 150-micron stainless steel screen to protect the main stage orifice and is suitable for cross port relief circuits, although users should consider spool leakage in such applications. The valve's performance is further enhanced by its corrosion-resistant design, with external zinc-nickel plating identified by the model code suffix LH. This cartridge valve can handle a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar) and has a capacity of 25 gpm (95 L/min). It demonstrates a typical response time of 10 ms and maintains maximum valve leakage at 2 in\u00b3/min at 1000 psi (30 cc/min at 70 bar). The RPECLBV/LH incorporates Sun's floating style construction to minimize internal part binding due to installation torque or machining variations. It is adjustable throughout its full range using W or Y controls unless specified otherwise. Notably, back pressure on the tank port is directly additive to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio. Cartridges with EPDM seals are compatible with phosphate ester fluids but are not suitable for use with petroleum-based fluids as they can damage the seals. This model weighs .30 lb (.15 kg), and its installation requires specific torque settings for optimal performance.

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.
