Shop 3-Position, 4-Way, Cylinder Spool, Lever Operated Directional Control Valves

The 3-position, 4-way, directional, manual lever operated hydraulic directional control valve with a cylinder spool operates similarly to a traffic signal for hydraulic systems. In its central position, it blocks all flow, acting like a red light. When shifted in one direction, it allows fluid flow from P (pressure) to A (actuator) and B (actuator return) to T (tank), like a green light for one direction. Shifting in the opposite direction directs flow from P to B and A to T, like a green light for the other direction. Its spring return feature ensures it returns to the central position when not manually activated, offering control and safety in hydraulic systems. This valve is suitable for applications requiring precise control and efficient fluid flow management.
