How to Order the VO40 Valve Assembly
A specification sheet is located in the back of this book, and is also available in an electronic Excel format on our
web site. This form should be used to configure a valve assembly. The layout starts from the inlet cover on the left,
work sections and mid-inlets in the middle and the outlet cover on the far right. Each field will require an entry, and
the fields are represented with a position reference [ ] to help guide you to the option codes listed in the catalog
pages 11 to 21.
Example: Inlet Cover (Sect #1)
Customer has 23 l/min pump flow, requires
a pilot operated main relief set 140 bar and
wants all SAE-8 work ports.
• Reference position [4] calls out the thread
option for the entire valve assembly (SAE
or BSP) (
“U8” is the code for all SAE-8
size ports).
Note: There is a separate specification
sheet which utilizes metric units.
• Reference position [12] calls out the
system flow and can be listed in LPM or
GPM depending on which spec sheet you
are using (
23 is entered for flow).
• Reference position [15] gives you an
option for a standard type inlet “I” or
an unloader type inlet cover “IU” (
“I” is
entered for std inlet cover).
• Reference position [16] indicates the type
