Functional description, section, symbol

Pressure relief valves model DB..K.. are pilot operated poppet style drain (8). This pressure drop across main poppet (1), allows the
cartridge valves for manifold mounting. Excellent pressure versus main flow from A to B. Pilot fluid is drained via port Y.
flow characteristics permit use as main system, port, or crossport To optimize valve performance, four pressure adjustment ranges

The valve consists of main poppet (1), pilot poppet (6) and spring when the adjustment mechanism is fully backed out. This
adjustment spring (5). Pressure is set via adjustment mechanism allows adjustment of all pressure ranges to minimum pressure
(4). Pressure acts on both sides of the main poppet (1), via orifice (dependant on flow see performance curves below).
