these flow control valves rated high enough for heavy equipment like harvesters and refuse haulers, or are they more of an industrial shop thing?
Question by: Troy B on Oct 30, 2025, 12:01 PM
Both, actually. The FDC3-16 handles up to 350 bar (5000 psi) and flows up to 350 liters per minute (92 USgpm), which puts it well within range for demanding mobile equipment like harvesters and refuse haulers, not just fixed industrial setups. That pressure and flow capacity covers a wide range of working conditions, so it fits comfortably across both worlds.

got a harvester with a flow control valve that’s gotta handle some real pressure. what are the pressure and flow limits on this FDC3-16?
Question by: Steve B on Sep 30, 2025, 7:37 AM
Rated limits are 350 bar (5000 psi) and 350 L/min (92 US gpm), so it is built for higher pressure and higher flow work in that range.

So, this thing's for a harvester, right? What part of it does it control?
Question by: Bobby R on Aug 20, 2025, 7:12 AM
Knowing it can handle up to 350 liters per minute, this valve is often used to precisely regulate the flow in hydraulic systems that require a balance of speed and force, such as controlling the movement of a harvester head or other implements.

got a harvester that’s picky about flow, what’s this FDC3-16 valve meant to do anyway
Question by: Duane W on Oct 29, 2025, 7:37 AM
In plain terms, it’s a spool style flow control valve used to manage hydraulic flow in systems like harvesters, refuse haulers, and other mobile or industrial equipment.

flow rate on this valve -- is 152 liters per minute the max it'll push through, or is that just a rated flow?
Question by: Tommy H on May 6, 2025, 9:57 AM
152 litres per minute is the rated flow for this unit. The FDC3-16 series is also built to handle up to 350 L/min at 350 bar across the broader valve family, but the flow rate listed for this specific configuration is 152 L/min. For most mobile equipment and industrial setups, that's plenty of capacity for steady operation without pushing the valve beyond its rating.
