Manually Operated Directional Valves

Manually operated directional valves are now available from Sun in a wide range of functional variations and flow capacities.

  • Spool and poppet configurations
  • 2-way, 3-way and 4-way porting
  • Flow rates to 120 gpm (480 L/min.)
  • Pressure rating of 5000 psi (350 bar) for all ports
 Manually-Operated Directional Valves

These new valves feature Sun's unique Twist and Lock Manual Controls which are available in three configurations:

  • Momentary control
  • Detent/lock control
  • Dual operation, providing both momentary and detent control
