Description
Flow is blocked from 1 to 2 until pressure increases to meet the selected valve setting, lifting the conical, pilot-stage poppet from its seat. This action exhausts oil above the main-stage piston (spool type), allowing it to shift and provide relief flow through 2 to tank. Pressure at 2 is additive to the relief setting of the valve. Pilot operation is protected from contamination by a filter screen at the bottom of the main piston.
