The Sun Hydraulics XIW/S (Material Number: XIW/S) is a line mount manifold designed with a cross pilot and common port 4s configuration, which provides efficient fluid management in hydraulic systems. This manifold features a body type specifically for line mounting and does not include an interface, making it versatile for various applications. It includes two open cavities and utilizes the T-22A cavity type, ensuring compatibility with certain cartridge valves. The manifold is equipped with 3/4 BSPP port sizes, allowing for standard connections in hydraulic circuits. The mounting hole specifications include a diameter of 0.41 inches (10.4 mm) and through-hole depth, with two mounting holes provided to ensure secure installation. Constructed from 6061-T651 aluminum, this manifold offers excellent corrosion resistance without the need for anodizing, thus maintaining structural integrity under high-pressure conditions up to 3000 psi (210 bar). The choice of aluminum also supports ease of machining and availability in various shapes and sizes. This product is particularly suited for applications requiring robust performance in hydraulic systems while maintaining a lightweight profile due to its aluminum construction. Its design facilitates straightforward integration into existing systems where line mount manifolds are required, providing reliable operation across diverse hydraulic applications.

Show FAQ

Why doesn't Sun anodize their aluminum bodies?	Reasons to anodize: To increase corrosion resistance. Sun uses 6061-T651 aluminum. It is one of the most corrosion resistant aluminum alloys there is. Whether or not anodizing improves the corrosion resistance of 6061 aluminum is debatable. We have yet to have a manifold returned because of corrosion. Appearance (color). The 2 colors that would appeal to Sun would be blue or black. Unfortunately these are the colors that are hardest to do consistently. To provide a hard wear surface. Sun does not make parts-in-body valves. The manifold is just plumbing. We don't need a wear surface. Because everyone else does it. Bad reason. Reasons to not anodize: Cost. It's another process. Logistics. When you make tens of thousands of manifolds a month and you anodize hundreds, it's a problem. Consistency. See above. Stamping. After a body is anodized you cannot do any more stamping without making a mess.Inspection. Have you ever tried to look for burrs in a black anodized body? It's the old blackboard factory at night scenario. Torque. You will experience an increase in breakaway torque when removing items from an anodized manifold. Fatigue life. This is the best reason to not anodize. Fatigue failure is a very complex phenomenon. What it takes to initiate a crack is difficult to predict. What it takes to propagate a crack is readily defined. Anodizing produces a very thin, very hard, and very brittle surface on aluminum. The first time you pressurize an anodized aluminum manifold you have initiated fatigue cracks. Whether or not the stress is enough to propagate the cracks is a matter of pressure and manifold geometry. Anodizing an aluminum manifold grossly reduces the fatigue life by anywhere from 20% to 50%.
How big is a drop of hydraulic oil?	There are exactly 250 Sun drops in a cubic inch or 15 in a cc.
Why does Sun use 6061 aluminum?	6061-T651 is relatively strong, relatively inexpensive, difficult to machine, readily available in all shapes and sizes and very corrosion resistant. 2024 is stronger and machines beautifully, but is expensive and falls to pieces in a corrosive environment.

Notes:

Important: Carefully consider the maximum system pressure. The pressure rating of the manifold is dependent on the manifold material, with the port type/size a secondary consideration. Manifolds constructed of aluminum are not rated for pressures higher than 3000 psi (210 bar), regardless of the port type/size specified.
