got a skid that needs a directional valve, what kind of valve is this one exactly
Question by: Peggy R on Mar 3, 2026, 9:10 PM
In plain terms, it is a single stage directional control valve in the Vickers DG4V-3 60 design family. It is used to route hydraulic flow in a three-way or four-way directional control setup.

flow rate on this valve is listed at 80 LPM, that gonna be enough for a press application or is it on the lower end for that kind of work?
Question by: Frank W on Jul 27, 2025, 8:07 PM
For press applications, 80 litres per minute puts this valve in solid working range for a good number of setups. The DG4V-3 series is actually listed as suitable for press use, so it's not just a stretch fit. Whether it covers your specific demand comes down to your circuit sizing, but the valve itself isn't undersized for that category of work by default.
