General Description
Pressure reducing valves are used to
reduce system pressure to a constant
reduced outlet pressure regardless of
fluctuations in the main system above the
selected pressure.
The XCT models have an integral check
valve that allows free flow from the outlet
connection to inlet connection.

* To obtain optimum service life from both
fluid and hydraulic system, 65_C (150_F)
is the recommended maximum fluid
temperature, except for water-containing
fluids.
For synthetic fluids consult the fluid
manufacturer or Vickers where limits
are outside those for petroleum oil.
Contamination Control
Requirements
Recommendations on contamination
control methods and the selection of
products to control fluid condition are
included in Vickers publication 9132 or
561, Vickers Guide to Systemic
Contamination Control. The book also
includes information on the Vickers
concept of ProActive Maintenance.
The following recommendations are
based on ISO cleanliness levels at
2 mm, 5 mm and 15 mm. For products in
this catalog the recommended levels
are:
Up to 210 bar (3000 psi) 19/17/14 . . . .

reduced pressure, consult your Vickers representative.
J Alternative data giving max. flow for -*B- combinations.
Inlet Pressure Setting
For proper functioning the inlet pressure
must be maintained at least 10 bar
(150 psi) above the setting of the reduced
outlet pressure.
Remote Pressure Control
Reduced pressure may be adjusted
remotely by connecting the remote control
connection to the inlet port of a C-175
relief valve (catalog 411) or a CGR-02
relief valve (catalog 409).
Pressure setting of the X(C)T valve must
be higher than that of the remote control
valve.
Hydraulic Fluids
X(C)T valves are suitable for use with
hydraulic oils, oil-in-water emulsions and
water glycols.
When fitted with special seals (specify
F3 in model code ) these valves are
suitable for use with phosphate esters
(not alkyl-based).
The extreme operating range is from 500
to 13 cSt (2270 to 70 SUS) but the
recommended running range is 54 to
13 cSt (245 to 70 SUS).
