Will this valve hold up in a marine environment on my offshore rig?
Question by: Jerry A on Jan 25, 2026, 8:33 PM
While the valve itself is suitable for marine/offshore applications, it's crucial to consider the specific conditions on your rig. Ensure the Buna-N seal material is compatible with the fluids being used, and that the valve is protected from direct exposure to saltwater spray to maximize its lifespan.

flow rate on this valve is listed at 700 lpm -- that right for a DG5V-8 size unit?
Question by: Melvin P on Dec 22, 2025, 11:30 AM
Yeah, 700 litres per minute is the rated flow for this valve. That puts it in the heavy-duty range for directional control work, which lines up with the kind of applications this series gets used in, things like press systems, turbine control, and primary metals equipment. For high-demand industrial circuits that need reliable two-stage directional shifting at serious flow volumes, that capacity is right where it needs to be.
