Normally open, modulating element

Capacity: 15 gpm60 L/min. | Cavity: T-11A
LPDC : Normally open, modulating element
Technical Features [ + ]

Normally open modulating elements without an internal orifice act as a restrictive compensator to maintain a constant pressure drop across an orifice, regardless of variations in upstream or downstream pressure.

  • If a higher compensating pressure is needed consider using a direct-acting reducer; PR*R.
  • 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.
  • All ports will accept 5000 psi (350 bar).
  • 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.

FAQs [ + ]

There are exactly 250 Sun drops in a cubic inch or 15 in a cc.

Only external seals are serviceable.  Sun offers replacement seal kits for all cartridge models. The applicable kit part number can be found in the product page's Technical Data table or by using our Cartridge Seal Kit search function located under Accessories. Please note: Converting the external seals from one material to another does not ensure fluid compatibility with that material due to the existence of internal seals within the cartridge.
