The replacement valve must be suitable for the hydraulic circuit in which it will operate.

4. Confirm the Required Flow Rate

Hydraulic valves are designed for particular flow ranges. An incorrectly sized valve can cause excessive pressure drop, overheating or poor machine performance.

5. Verify the Valve Configuration

Check whether the application requires a directional, pressure-control, flow-control, proportional, servo or cartridge valve.

Also confirm the number of ports, switching positions and spool configuration where applicable.

6. Check Electrical Specifications

For electrically operated valves, confirm the coil voltage, electrical connector, current requirements and control signal.

Do not assume that valves with similar external dimensions have identical electrical specifications.
