‘ectional Control Valves .... start, stop and direct
fluid flow. They control extension and retraction of
cylinders, rotation of fluid motors and actuators, and
sequence other circuit operations,
Gresen offers two basic types of body designs
the Monoblock which has all component parts in one
single casting... and the Sectional Body design.
Sectional Body Valves . . . consist of one or more
Complete work sections with end covers. The entire
assembly is bolted together to form a complete Sec
tional Body Directional Control Valve. A variety of
work sections, spools, and spool actions, end covers
and relief combinations are available to provide the
exact type of valve assembly required for any given
application whether mobile, industrial or agricultural
Gresen’s Model V20 Directional Control Valve is avail-
able for parallel, tandem, combined parallel/tandem
and series hydraulic circuit applications, up to 3500
PSI [242 bar] continuous operating pressure. Its new
spool design has resulted in lighter spool actuating ef-
fort making its finger-tip touch and extra-fine metering
characteristics ideal for back hoe, front end loader and
personnel lift applications. This sensitivity also gives
the design engineer a wider latitude of mechanical ink-
age possibilities.
Service or conversion is simple since individual
sections can be added, removed or replaced in the
field. Individual service ‘or field conversion sections,
rather than complete valve assemblies, can be stock:
ed thus reducing inventories.
FEATURES
Exact Work Port Control ..is achieved with smooth,
positive metering valve spools. Spools are precisely
hone-fitted to a matching work section for excellent
‘spoot-hold characteristics giving minimum load “leak
down.”
Built-In Safety . . . Hydraulic system and equipment
protection incorporated at each work port eliminates.
need for any additional external plumbing, Main relief
valves, work port relief valves, anti-cavitation checks
and work port restrictors are available for safety,
equipment protection and positive control
Construction ... All valve housings are made of
ductile cast iron for durability and resistance to
shock loads,
Spools are hard, chrome-plated for long life and re-
sistance to corrosion. All spools are select hone-
fitted for minimum internal leakage and maximum
load:-holding ability
Seal Compatibility . . . All standard Gresen products
utilize BUNA-N seals which are compatible with petro-
leum base, water-in-oil emulsions, and water-olycol
fluids. Phosphate ester type fire-resistant fluids will
‘cause BUNA-N seals to swell. This swelling is notnor-
mally detrimental to static seals, but will be a problem
for dynamic seals such as valve spool seals. Swelling
of these seals can result in binding spools. The tem-
perature range of BUNA-N seals is —40°F [—40°C] to
+200°F [+93°C] for continuous operation.
VITON seals are recommended for most applications
that use phosphate-ester type fluids. VITON seals are
also recommended for applications that have a con-
tinuous operating temperature of +200°F [+83°C] or
more. VITON seals are available for Model V20 valves.
Due to the large number of hydraulic oil manufactur-
ers, and the increasing availabilty of oil under various
brand names, we recommend the customer consult
his fluid manufacturer regarding compatibility . . . or
test to his own satisfaction

This system varies both pump flow and pressure with

EXAMPLE
Consider an application requiring a maximum flow of 20 GPM (76 litres/min] at a maxi-
mum pressure of 2500 PSI [172 bar]. To meet the requirements of the application, the
pump must be able to supply maximum flow at maximum pressure when required. How-
ever, during most of its operation, it is required to deliver less than its maximum flow at
less than its maximum pressure. The way in which the system responds to the reduced-
load conditions and the percentage of the total operating time the system will be used
under reduced-load conditions should be considered,
Functions requiring maximum system flow at maximum system pressure will all require
approximately the same amount of power, assuming that system components are equi-
valent in size.
Functions requiring less than maximum flow and pressure best illustrate the advantages
of the load sensing system. Consider a function in which a cylinder is to be extended
1300 PSI [88 bar] is required at a metered flow rate of 9 GPM [34 litres/min}
EFFICIENCY
The open center system requires a fixed dis-
placement pump capable of 20 GPM [76 litres/
min] and a relief valve set at 2500 PSI [172bar]
System pressure is determined by load resis~
tance. Therefore, the pump delivers a full 20,
GPM [76 litres/min] at 1300 PSI [88 bar] to
the control valve. The control valve allows 9
GPM [34 itres/min] to be directedto thecylin-
der, the remaining 11. GPM (42 litres/min] is i — at

‘The closed center system requires a variable
displacement, pressure compensated pump

the required 9 GPM [34 litres/min] to the con-
trol valve, but at a pressure of 2500 PSI [172

INFORMATION GRESEN"
HYDRAULIC CIRCUITS
PARALLEL CIRCUITS
In a parallel circuit valve, two or more spools may be
actuated at the same time and the oil will follow the
path of least resistance. If a 2-spool valve is used to
control two hydraulic cylinders, each with a different
load, the cylinder with the lightest load will operate
first if both spools are fully actuated at the same time.
If the spool controlling the cylinder with the light
load is metered (spool not fully actuated), then both
cylinders can be operated at the same time,
When a spool is fully actuated, the open center core
is blocked and oil is directed into the power core. Oil
is then available to the work ports of all sections in
the valve assembly.
TANDEM CIRCUITS
A valve assembly made up of tandem work sections.
may be referred to as a priority valve or series paral
lelvalve.
In the neutral position, oil is available to all valve
sections through the open center core. When two or
more valve spools are fully actuated at the same
time, oil will only be available to the work ports of the
upstream work section (section closest to the inlet).
In a tandem valve, an upstream work section will
always has priority over a downstream work sec:
tion when its spool is fully actuated,
The tandem work section is very similar to the paral
lel work section with the following exceptions:
1. A passage within the tandem work section con-
nects the open center core with the power core,
2. The power core is blocked on the upstream side
of the tandem work section. COMBINED PARALLEL/TANDEM CIRCUITS
Avalve assembly may be made up of any combination
of parallel and tandem sections to fit a particular appli-
cation. In this type of valve assembly, the section up-
stream from the tandem work section has priority (the
tandem section itself does not have priority). The adja~
cent hydraulic schematic shows a three-work-section
valve: the first work section is a parallel valve; the sec-
ond, a tandem valve; and the third, a parallel valve.
Note that in the tandem valve work’section the open
center core is connected to the power core and the
Power core from section No. 1 is blocked at the up-
stream side of the tandem work section. If the spo
section No. 2is actuated, cil willbe available to its work
Ports. But, if the spool in section No 1 is fully actuated
at the same time, all the oil will go to the work ports of
‘section No. 1. No oil will be available to the second or
third work sections.
SERIES CIRCUITS
Ina series circuit valve, two or more spools may be ac-
tuated at the same time. The entire flow of oil is avail-
‘able to each work section in sequence from inlet to out-
let port through the open center core. In a 2-spool
valve (both spools actuated), oil is directed from the
inlet port to a work port of section No. 1. The return oil
to work section No. 1 is directed back to the open cen-
ter core (and not to the tank port as in a parallel valve
circuit). The returning oilis then available to section No.
2.
Ina series circuit, pressure is additive. Thats, the sum
ofall pressures required by all sections cannot exceed
the main role valve setting or pump pressure capa-
ity.
With certain restrictions, Model V20S sections may be
intermixed with parallel or tandem work sections in the
‘same valve assembly. Refer to page 38 for V20S stack-
ing sequence restrictions. GENERAL
INFORMATION
INLET COVERS
Inlet covers are designed to provide a variety of port
sizes and locations. This permits valve assemblies to
be “customized” using a minimum of external
plumbing.
The outlet port may be located in either the inlet (left)
cover or the outlet (right) cover. Location must be
specified. If the addition of a secondary hydraulic
pump is necessary, a mid-inlet conversion section for
Model V20P and V20T Valves can be installed be-
tween any two work sections, providing an inlet port
for the secondary pump (see page 32). Valve inlet cov-
ers are machined to accept Model WH or Model RP51
main system relief vaive cartridges.
MAIN SYSTEM
RELIEF VALVES
‘The primary function of a main system relief valve is
to prevent excessive system pressures. Normally,
this relief valve is installed in the inlet cover.
Relief valves for the V20 Valve Assembly are designed
and fabricated in cartridge form to permit easier Serv-
icing and allow minimum interchangeability time. They
feature quiet operation and are virtually trouble free
and highly tolerant of foreign material in the hydraulic
system.
Relief valves are available in adjustable or tamper-
proof/non-adjustable configurations.

ond (higher) pressure setting when a pilot pressure
(750 PSI minimum) is applied to an SAE 6 pilot port in
the cartridge. The “high” pressure setting (3000 PSI
maximum) is shim adjustable. The “low” pressure set-
ting (500 PSI o/p minimum) is externally screw adjust-
able and must be specified as a “crack” pressure (1

OUTLET COVERS
‘Although the same basic outlet covers are used in all
V20 valve assemblies, the available cover options and
configurations for open center, closed center, and load

WORK SECTIONS
Work sections in Gresen’s Sectional Body Directional
Control Valves are precisely machined from high tensile
cast iron housings.
Valve spools may be manually, hydraulically, pneumati-
cally, mechanically or electrically operated. All valve
spools are select hone-fitted at the factory for minimum
internal leakage and are not field replaceable.
Five types of basic work sections are available:
+ Model V20P for open center, parallel circuit
applications”
+ Model V20T for open center, tandem circuit
applications”
+ Model V20S for open center, series circuit
applications
+ Model V20C for closed center, parallel circuit
applications
+ Model 20LS load sensing, for closed center, parallel
circuit applications.
A variety of spools, spool action options and work port
options are available for the work sections, depending
‘on the particular application.
“Optional 4-way work sections with reduced open center pressure
drop are available for parallel (V20RP) and tandem (V20RT) circuits
“These reduced pressure drop sections are interchanged with a stan-
ard V20 open center sections and use standard V20 covers. All V20
spools and options are available with these sections. A heavier spool
centering spring is required with V2ORP and V20RT sections,

The standard 4-way 3-position section has a 2-posi-
tion detent with the spool spring loaded to the neutral
Position. The spool is held in either power position by
the detent assembly, When pressure in the power
circuit reaches a predetermined setting, the detent
assembly releases and the centering spring returns
the spool to neutral. Pressure detent release is field
adjustable. Release pressure must be a minimum of
200 PS! [13,80 bar] below main relief setting.
‘As many valve sections with hydraulic detent release
as required may be assembled into one valve assem-
bly. This option is also available for float sections,
PRESSURE RELEASE FROM “A” POWER POSITION
Detent release pressure is sensed through the power
core of the valve when the spool is in the “A” power
position, In a valve assembly containing two or more
KO sections, the section having the lowest detent
pressure release setting will release its spool first
when the spool is in the “A” power position. Each
‘spool will release to neutral from the “A” power posi-
tion as the pressure increases. The detent having the
highest pressure setting will be the last to release to
neutral

PRESSURE RELEASE FROM “B" POWER POSITION
Detent release pressure is sensed only through the
open center core of the valve when the spool sin the
SB" power-postion. When an upstream: spodl is
shifted to either power position, the open center core
is blocked off preventing any downstream KO sec-
tions from sensing pressure in the open center core.
‘Therefore, a downstream KO section will not release
to neutral when an upstream spool is shifted to the
“A” or “B" power position. A KO spool will only
release to neutral from the “B" power position when
all upstream sections are in the neutral or float posi-
tion. ‘SPOOL ACTION OPTIONS (Cont.)
Electro-Magnetic Spool Release
Code Symbol E
This option incorporates two electro-magnets in the
bonnet assembly, The magnets may be energized
continuously with a 12 volt DC power supply. When
the operator manually shifts the spool to either power
position, the spool will be held in position by magnetic
force. A’return spring will center the spool to neutral
when the magnet is de-energized, or the spool may
be returned to neutral manually.
The male connector on the bonnet contains three
pins marked A, B, and C. Both magnets are con-
ected to a common ground (pin C), pin A is con-
fected to the magnet which wil hold the spoon the
“A" power position (spool “IN"), and pin B is con-
nected to the magnet which will hold the spool in the
“B" power position (spool OUT").
Ifa one position electric detent is required, only one
magnet will be connected to the male connector.
Pins A and C will be wired for spool "IN" detent, or
pins B and C will be wired for spool “OUT” detent.
The electro-magnetic spool release assembly may
be used with an external limit switch (furnished by the
customer) to limit the stroke of a cylinder. This results
in a more efficient operation, quicker cycle times, and
‘saves time by automatically repositioning the cylinder
while the operator is performing other operations.
Another advantage is hydraulic system pressure
does not build up to main relief valve pressure, which
eliminates pressure surges and reduces heat build-
up.

Excess Flow Option
This option utilizes the excess flow from the flow con-
trol by using the end outlet port as the excess flow
port. An outlet port is not available in this cover when
this option is specified. A typical application for this
option is to direct the excess flow to a combined
flow mid-inlet section installed downstream. When
the upstream spools are in neutral, all flow is avall-
able downstream. When an upstream spool is acti-
vated, only excess flow oil is available to the down-
stream spools. This option also allows the flow from
‘one pump to be spilt for two separate functions.
To order this option, specify “Plug B end exhaust

Code Symbol Y
This option allows the installation of another valve
downstream from the first valve.
‘A power bayond sleeve is installed in the outlet cover
of the upstream valve which separates the open
center core from the exhaust core at the outlet port.
This allows hydraulic oil under pressure to be carried
thru the upstream valve, thus making it available for a
downstream function. A separate tank line is required
from each control valve in the circuit.
Hydraulic oil is available to the downstream valve only
when all spools in the upstream valve are in the neu-
tral position.
If pressure requirements for both valves are the

same, only one relief valve is required. It must be
installed in the upstream valve.
Each valve in the circuit may have a different relief
setting, but the highest setting must be upstream.

If additional hydraulic circuit options are to be added
ata later date, or if the control valve is being ordered
for stock, a conversion plug assembly should be
considered. A conversion plug assembly gives a
control valve great versatility and easily converts for
different applications, reducing inventory require-
ments.
‘A control valve with a conversion plug remains an

In addition to load checks which are standard in the
V20 Valves, Gresen offers a wide range of options to
control oil flow. From these options you may select the
exact accessories to customize your valves to your
specific application.
The following are available:
+ Work Port Relief Valve
+ Anti-Cavitation Check
+ Combination Relief and Anti-Cavitation Check
+ Pilot-Operated Check Valves
+ Work Port Restrictors
(not available with NPT pipe ports).
Standard Load Check Assembly
A standard load check assembly is provided with
every work section except when a free-flow motor
sp0dl is installed. Then load checks are not required.
The load check blocks against pressurized return
flow from a work port back to the inlet port until over-
come by pressure build-up from the pump.
This feature will keep a load from dropping while the
control valve spool is being shifted and until the inlet
Pressure is equal to or slightly greater than the pres-
sure developed by the load. At this time the load
check will open and movement of the load can then
be controlled by the control valve spool.
NOTE: Load checks for Series type sections are different from
those used in Parallel and Tandem sections.

29 Pilot-Operated Check Valves
FOR MODEL V20-LO VALVE ONLY
Model V20-LO work sections are designed with
double pilot-operated check valves. These pilot oper-
ated checks will lock a cylinder or part of a circt
‘without leakage—when the control valve spool is
the neutral position. When the spool is shifted to a
power position, pressurized oil is directed to one
work port. Return oil into the opposite work port is
momentarily blocked until pilot pressure unseats the
check. Metering characteristics of valve spools are
slightly diminished when using these pilot-operated
check valves.
These checks are used on applications such as
clamps, outriggers, and elevated work platforms
where internal fluid leakage could affect the opera-
tion of the system. The functions of a 4-Way Section
and a pilot-operated check or lock-out in one valve
housing are combined in one section,
The spool is a 4-way, 3-position modified free flow
‘spool.
30
This spool is the same as F4, 4-way, 3-position free
flow except the free flow feature is restricted, Free
flow prevents any pressure build up between the
Pump and the pilot operated check when the valve
‘spool is in neutral position.
‘This work secton and check valve are combined to perform the functions
‘of & 4oway work section and a plot-operated check or lockout valve in
‘one single housing. Combination Work Port Relief Valve
and Anti-Cavitation Check

At times both a relief valve and an anti-cavitation
check are required for the same work port. Both of
those functions have been incorporated into one
assembly.
Pressure range is: 500-3000 PSI [34-207 bar]
Restrictors
Restrictors may be inserted directly into a SAE work
ort and will limit oil flow in one direction while allow-
ing free flow in the opposite direction. When restrict-
ing flow in the return port, restrictors will:
1. Prevent cylinder or motor cavitation having an
inertia load,
2. Provide accurate control of double-acting cylin-
der by pressurizing both sides of cylinder piston.
3. Restrict oil flow from a hydraulic motor for
‘smoother operation.
When restricting flow in pressure port, restrictors will
meter oil flow to provide proper speed of operation,
Work port restrictors are available for SAE 8 and SAE
10 work ports. Nominal orifice diameters are avail-
able from .015 to .220 inches [.38 to 5.6 mm]. Spec-
ify restrictor hole size desired. Specify whether
restrictor should be installed to restrict flow out of
the valve work por, or restrict flow into the valve work
port.
