4-way Directional Control

AO GENERAL INFORMATION:
The Brand, 4-way directional control valve is designed to be durable and dependable. The manually shifted handle provides metered flow to either port. Port flow is directly proportional to the movement of the lever. The tank port must go directly back to tank. SPOOL TYPE The spool types offered are tandem center 4-way (T), open center 4-way (O), fine metering (M), tandem metering (TM), closed center 4-way (C), and tandem 3-way (T3). (See chart on next page and schematics on page #4 for information on spool types) ACTUATORS Lever handle (L) pressurizes the B port when the handle is pushed towards the valve body. Lever handle (J) pressurizes A port when the handle is pushed towards the valve body. Pilot operated (P) is used to shift the valve from a remote location. Rotary handle (H) is used to rotate spool in or out of valve body. No actuator (N) uses L type spool. No actuator (M) uses J type spool. SPOOL ACTION Three-position detent (D) holds the spool in neutral and both active positions. Friction detent (F1) applies friction to the spool so that the spool does not move when the handle is released either side of neutral, a detent groove clearly indicates neutral position. Spring center (S) returns the handle to neutral when the handle is released. Spring center detent (SD) springs back to neutral from one position and is mechanically detented in the other position (flow out port A in detent). Spring center friction detent (SF1) springs back to neutral from one direction and functions similar to standard F1 in other direction (flow out port B in friction detent). Spring offset (SO) spring holds spool in one active position (P to B in offset position and neutral). Spring offset (SO2) spring holds spool in one active position (P to B in offset position, neutral and P to A). Rotary friction detent (E) applies friction to the spool as it is rotated so that the spool does not rotate when the handle is released either side of neutral, a detent groove clearly indicates neutral position. Two-position detent (2D) P to B only. Two-position detent (D2) P to A only. Adjustable relief (R) set to 1500 psi at factory. Normally closed electric switch (WC) used with (S), (F1) and (D) options only. Normally open electric switch (WO) used with (S), (F1) and (D) options only.

Four-way Flow Control

DC SERIES GENERAL INFORMATION:
The Brand, DCF directional flow control valve combines the features of a four-way directional control valve, a full range pressure compensated by-pass type flow control valve, and a pilot operated pressure relief valve, all in one compact package. This valve reduces the number of fittings, plumbing and potential leakage points in hydraulic circuits. The manual handle provides fine metering to either port. Flow to the work port is directly proportional to the movement of the lever. Flow out of each work port is constant regardless of load changes, this allows the customer to maintain smooth and constant movement of a cylinder or motor. Every DCF comes standard with a pilot operated relief. The tank port must be plumbed directly back to tank. The Brand, DC directional control valve does not have the flow control feature of the DCF. The DC can be used in series but the spool is difficult to shift when there is tank pressure. The DC offers an optional high lift ball spring relief to take the place of the standard pilot operated relief on the DCF. The manual handle provides metering to either port. SPOOL TYPE The spool types we offer are tandem center 4-way (T), open center 4-way (O), closed center 4-way(C), fine metering 4-way (M), tandem metering 4-way (TM), and tandem center 3-way (T3). (See chart on next page and schematics on page #4 for information on spool types) ACTUATORS Lever handle (L) pressurizes the B port when the handle is pushed towards the valve body. Pilot operated (P) is used when it is necessary to remotely operate the valve. No actuator (N) L type spool. SPOOL ATTACHMENTS Three-position detent (D) holds the spool in neutral and both active positions. Friction detent (F1) applies friction to the spool so that the spool does not move when the handle is released from either side of neutral, a detent groove clearly indicates neutral position. Spring center (S) returns the handle to neutral when the handle is released. Two-position detent (2D) P to B only. Twoposition detent (D2) P to A only. Adjustable spool stop handle (AH) allows the customer to stop the spool at any position in one direction only. High lift ball spring relief (B) provides relief for DC only. Vent port (V) allows relief to unload (DCF only). Top port (TP) allows the customer to plumb the inlet, outlet on the same surface as the work ports (DC only).

Electric Flow Control

EFC GENERAL INFORMATION
The Brand, electronically adjustable proportional pressure compensated flow control is an electronically controlled version of the original FC51 style flow control valve. The EFC performance as a flow control is very similar to the FC51 because they both use the same spring and compensator spool. Thus, the control flow port (CF) and the excess flow port (EX) remain usable and pressure compensated. The main advantage of the EFC over the FC51 is that the flow can be adjusted proportionally with a solenoid instead of manually. As the current to the solenoid increases the variable orifice moves proportionally similar to positioning the rotary side lever on the manual FCs. The solenoid is connected to our EC series controls which can be sold with the EFC. We also give the choice of a dashpot size, which allows the customer to select a valve that responds to the control box at different rates. Other options are 2port, free reverse flow and high lift ball spring relief. 2-PORT- The 2-port (2P) option is a modified version of the standard 3-port EFC. This option lets the customer use the control flow port while the excess port is plugged. A special compensator spool was designed to eliminate hunting that can occur between pressure compensated valves and pumps. To use the EFC 2-port a pressure compensated pump is required. The 2-port can be converted to a 3-port (by removing the EX plug), but it will not have the same characteristics as the standard 3-port. (See chart on next page for 2-port EFC) FREE REVERSE FLOW- The free reverse flow option was designed to be used primarily where cylinders and motors are needed to go in reverse. The flow can only go in reverse from controlled flow (CF) to the inlet (IN). Flow is not metered when it goes in reverse. The steel ball seat inside the compensator spool is heat treated to assure a long life. HIGH LIFT BALL SPRING RELIEF The high lift ball spring relief (R) reduces plumbing and provides relief protection. Once the pressure on the inlet port increases above the relief setting the relief valve opens and diverts flow to the EX port while maintaining pressure on the IN port. The EX port must be plumbed back to tank for this relief to work. This relief does not chatter and the cracking pressure from low to high flow is virtually the same. The relief is easily adjustable by simply loosening the lock nut and turning the adjusting fitting. (See relief chart on next page)

FC GENERAL INFORMATION
The Brand, full range pressure compensating variable flow control is designed so that the orifice area varies as the lever is rotated. Fluid travels past the variable orifice, by the compensator spool and then out the controlled flow port. Therefore the flow out of the CF port is proportional to the orifice area which can vary from closed to wide open. The sum of the controlled flow and the excess flow equals the inlet flow and as the controlled flow increases the excess flow decreases. Both outlet flows are pressure compensated with a spool that maintains a constant flow while adjusting for pressure. Hunting between the compensated pump and our valve is dampened with a cross hole in the casting. Thus, the outlet flow is smooth and constant regardless of the pressure on the CF and EX port.

The HPV4s were designed primarily for use with hand pumps and other low flow applications where size weight and appearance are important. Three-position detent (D) holds the spool in neutral or either active position. Closed center (standard) blocks all ports when in neutral. Tandem center (T4) sends oil from P to T when in the neutral position. The T4 spool should not be used for flows of 4 gpm and greater because the pressure drop increases significantly.

LEFC GENERAL INFORMATION
The Brand, LEFC (large electronically adjustable proportional pressure compensated flow control) is an electronically controlled version of the original large FC51 style flow control valve. The LEFC performance as a flow control is very similar to the large FC51 because they both use the same spring and compensator spool. Thus, the control flow port (CF) and the excess flow port (EX) remain usable and pressure compensated. The main advantage of the LEFC over the large FC51 is that the flow can be adjusted proportionally with a solenoid instead of manually. The orifice spool proportionally opens as the current through the solenoid increases, thus increasing the flow out of the CF port (similar to positioning the rotary side lever on the manual FC). The solenoid is connected to our optional EC series controls which can be sold with the LEFC. Please see the Electronic Controllers section for your control needs. We also give the choice of coil voltage, coil terminal and maximum flow setting. 2-PORT- The 2-port (2P) option is a modified version of the standard 3-port EFC. This option lets the customer use the control flow port while the excess port is plugged. To use the EFC 2-port a pressure compensated pump is required. The 2-port can be converted to a 3-port by removing the EX plug.

Manual Selector Valve

MS6 GENERAL INFORMATION
The Brand, MS6 series valve comes standard with two-position detent and manual handle. The MS6 offers a selector spool or a series-parallel spool. Both ports on the top of the valve serve as the inlet and outlet while the ports on the sides are plumbed into two separate circuits. The MS6 allows up to 45 gpm flow. SPOOLS The selector spool allows you to flow out of either set of side ports while the other side ports are closed. The selector spool could be used to control two double action cylinders or two reversible motors with one 4-way directional control valve. It could also be used to control four single action cylinders with one 4-way directional control valve. The series-parallel spool allows you to direct flow to both set of side ports in series or in parallel. The series parallel spool allows you to direct flow into two motors with the flow run in parallel or in series between the motors.

SDCF GENERAL INFORMATION:
The Brand, SDCF combines the features of a four-way directional control valve, a full range pressure compensated by-pass type flow control valve, and an adjustable pilot operated pressure relief valve all in one compact package. This valve reduces the number of fittings, plumbing and potential leakage points in hydraulic circuits. The manual handle allows the customer to meter the flow out of either port. Flow to the work port is directly proportional to the movement of the lever. Flow out of each work port is constant regardless of load changes, this allows the customer to maintain smooth and constant movement of a cylinder or motor. Every SDCF comes standard with a pilot operated relief. The tank port must be plumbed directly back to tank. SPOOL TYPE The spool types we offer are tandem center (T), open center (O), open meter center (OM), fine metering (M), and tandem metering (TM). (See chart on next page and schematics on page #4 for information on spool types) ACTUATORS Standard enclosed lever handle (G) pressurizes the B port when the handle is pushed towards the valve body (vertical mount). Enclosed lever handle (C) is similar to (G) except horizontal mount. Lever handle (L) pressurizes the B port when the handle is pushed towards the valve body. Lever handle (J) pressurizes A port when the handle is pushed towards the valve body. Rotary handle (H) is used to rotate spool in or out of valve body. No actuator (N) G type spool. No actuator (M) J type spool. SPOOL ACTION Three-position detent (D) holds the spool in neutral and both active positions. Friction detent (F1) applies friction to the spool so that the spool does not move when the handle is released either side of neutral, a detent groove clearly indicates neutral position. Spring center (S) returns the handle to neutral when the handle is released. Spring center detent (SD) springs back to neutral from one position and is mechanically detented in the other position (flow out port A in detent). Spring center friction detent (SF1) springs back to neutral from one direction and functions similar to standard F1 in other direction (flow out port B in friction detent). Spring offset (SO) spring holds spool in one active position (flow out port B). Spring offset (SO2) spring holds spool in one active position (P to B in offset position, neutral and P to A). Rotary friction detent (E) applies friction to the spool as it is rotated so that the spool does not rotate when the handle is released either side of neutral, a detent groove clearly indicates neutral position. Two-position detent (2D) P to B only. Two-position detent (D2) P to A only. Two-position friction (F2) P to A only. Normally closed electric switch (WC) used with (S), (F1) and (D) options only. Normally open electric switch (WO) used with (S), (F1) and (D) options only.

Directional Control Valves
SERIES 20 GENERAL INFORMATION:

The Brand, Series 20 Sectional Directional Control Valves are assembled to meet our customers requirements for up to six individual applications per assembly (consult factory for more sections). Brand Hydraulics does not charge anything extra for this process and assembly is priced solely on the overall sum of the prices of its components. When assembled in their normal manner the series 20 spool sections are in parallel. When the spools are in neutral position, the flow passes by each spool and then onto the tank (outlet) port. If two or more spools are shifted simultaneously their work ports are in parallel. The oil flow will take the path of least resistance allowing lighter loads to move first. All spools are machined with metering chamfers, and have a high handle vs. spool movement ratio, resulting in good metering capability. Input flow can be divided among several circuits (spool sections) by feathering the spools. INLETS can be provided with no relief, or an adjustable ball spring relief. Standard inlets are end ported (1) which is not field convertible. The other optional inlets are machined with end, top (2) and side (3) ports, these two options are field convertible to all three ports. OUTLETS are available end ported (1) which is not convertible to top or side porting. The other optional outlets are top (2) and side (3) porting; these two options are field convertible to all three ports. Options (2) and (3) are machined for power beyond and closed center cartridge. Specify (W) to receive the outlet assembled with power beyond cartridge. Specify (C) to receive the outlet assembled with closed center cartridge. WORK SECTIONS: SPOOL TYPE Open Center four-way (O) connects ports A and B to tank in neutral. Tandem Center four-way (T) blocks port A and B in neutral. Tandem Center, three-way (T3) powers a cylinder in one direction. Please note that closed center four-way operation can be obtained by using a tandem center fourway spool and a closed center plug in the assemblys outlet section. SPOOL ACTION Standard spring center (S) returns the handle to neutral when the handle is released. Standard three-position detent (D) holds the spool in neutral and both active positions. Spring center detent (SD or DS) springs back to neutral from one position and is mechanically detented in the other direction. Fourth-position float (K) is similar to spring center except it has a fourth position that makes all ports common to each other (last spool section only). Two-position detent (D2) P to A only. Two-position detent (2D) P to B only. ACTUATORS Joystick handle (A) is used to actuate two adjacent spool sections with one handle (use on any spool section). B-style handle (B) is assembled to the valve vertically. C-style handle (C) is assembled to the valve horizontally. OPTIONS Normally open electric switch (WO) used with spring center option only. Normally closed electric switch (WC) is used with spring center option only. ACCESSORY ITEMS All standard tie rod kits contain rods, lock washers and hex nuts. Please be sure to note correct tie rod torque spec of 85 inch pounds. Seal kits, power beyond kit, closed center kit and many other accessory items are available, please see the SERIES 20 COMPLETE LIST OF OPTIONS AND ACCESSORIES section of this catalog, for model codes and descriptions of these items. ASSEMBLY model codes and list prices for complete assemblies will be issued by the factory, upon request of an authorized Brand Distributor. All model codes so issued become proprietary to the requesting distributor. Model codes so issued will not be descriptive in nature, but shall be of sequential numerical type. Individual sections and accessories can be purchased so that custom valve stacks may be assembled or modified outside the factory.

SERIES 34 GENERAL INFORMATION:

The Brand, Series 34 Sectional Directional Control Valves are assembled to meet our customers requirements for up to twelve individual applications per assembly. Brand Hydraulics does not charge anything extra for this process and assembly is priced solely on the overall sum of the prices of its components. When assembled in their normal manner the series 34 spool sections are in parallel. When the spools are in neutral position the flow passes by each spool and then onto the tank (outlet) port. If two or more spools are shifted simultaneously their work ports are in parallel, and the oil flow will take the path of least resistance allowing lighter loads to move first. All spool sections are cast with metering notches, and have a high handle vs. spool movement ratio, resulting in good metering capability. Input flow can be divided among several circuits (spool sections) by feathering the spools. Series 34 spool sections may also operate in series by installing a series block in between each spool section. Please note that when using series blocks in an assembly it is necessary to use a drain block immediately after the inlet in order for the inlets relief to function correctly. INLETS can be provided with no relief, with a adjustable ball spring relief, or with an adjustable areadifferential cartridge relief. Standard inlets are field convertible to be end ported (1), or top ported (2), by shifting a plug from one port to the other. LOW SPOOL SECTIONS: SPOOL TYPE Open center four-way (O) connects ports A and B to tank in neutral. Tandem center four-way (T) blocks port A and B in neutral. Tandem center four-way with metering (M) blocks port A and B in neutral and meters flow when shifted. Tandem center three-way (T3) powers a cylinder in one direction. Please note that closed center four-way operation can be obtained by using a tandem center fourway spool and a closed center plug in the assemblys outlet section. SPOOL ACTION Standard spring center (S) returns the handle to neutral when the handle is released. Standard three-position detent (D) holds the spool in neutral and both active positions. Spring center detent (SD or DS) springs back to neutral from one position and is mechanically detented in the other direction. Fourth-position float (K) is similar to spring center except it has a fourth position that makes all ports common to each other (last spool section only). Two-position detent (D2) P to A only. Two position detent (2D) P to B only. ACTUATORS B-style handle (B) is non-adjustable and is the most common (use on low spool sections only). G-style handle (G) is also non-adjustable (use on any spool section). Y-style handle (Y) allows the customer to adjust the handle from straight up to straight down (use on any spool section). Joystick handle (A) is used to actuate two adjacent spool sections with one handle (use on any spool section). OPTION Machined for bolt on (M) cross over relief or double lock. Normally open electric switch (WO) used with spring center option only. Normally closed electric switch (WC) used with spring center option only. Cable attachment (Z) used with spring center option only on spring center side (Cable actuators must have own integral centering mechanism). Jacketed cable adapter (C) allows the customer to move the spool from a remote location. Machined to attach for handle on B port side of valve (E). HIGH SPOOL SECTIONS are available with the same spool type, spool action, actuator and option choices as the low spool section, but offers added features such as individual port reliefs or double lock valves. Three types of reliefs are offered for high sections machined with port relief cavities ball spring (B), area-differential (R) or area-differential with anti-cavitation check (C). Please note that all high sections require use of adjustable (Y), non-adjustable (G) or joystick (A) handle assembly to assure full spool travel. Series block cannot follow a high spool section unless the working pressure for the previous sections is below 800 psi. Page E-2
SERIES 34 GENERAL INFORMATION CONT

OUTLET SECTION is available end ported (1) which is not convertible to top port, or top ported (2) which is field convertible to end ported. Available machined for power beyond but without power beyond cartridge (A), machined for power beyond and with the power beyond cartridge (B), closed center plug (C) not available with power beyond, and field convertible open to closed center (D) without breaking open the valve stack. ACCESSORY ITEMS both mid-inlets and mid-outlets are available, both are available as either split flow or combined flow type. All standard tie rod kits contain rods, foot brackets, lock washers and hex nuts. Please be sure to note correct tie rod torque spec of 85 inch pounds. Bolt on pilot operated double-lock, bolt-on cross-over relief or bolt on single relief valve attachments are available (require low spool section with option (M), machined for bolt on attachment). Flow restricting orifices which screw into the work ports of spool sections are available, either pressure compensated (83AFF) or non-compensated (84AFF). Seal kits, replacement relief cartridges, series blocks, relief drain blocks and many other accessory items are available, please see the SERIES 34 COMPLETE LIST OF OPTIONS AND ACCESSORIES section of this catalog, for model codes and descriptions of these items. ASSEMBLY model codes and list prices for complete assemblies will be issued by the factory, upon request of an authorized Brand Distributor. All model codes so issued become proprietary to the requesting distributor. Model codes so issued will not be descriptive in nature, but shall be of sequential numerical type. Individual sections and accessories can be purchased so that custom valve stacks may be assembled or modified outside the factory.

TS GENERAL INFORMATION
The Brand, mono block directional control valve is available in one (TS1), two (TS2) and three (TS3) spool configurations. This valve was designed for applications in which one valve is required to operate separate circuits independently. The TS offers parallel, tandem center 4-way, open center 4-way(motor spool), and tandem 3-way spools. The valve is also field convertible to closed center and power beyond. SPOOLS The tandem three-way (T3) powers a cylinder in one direction. Tandem center 4-way (T) powers a cylinder or a motor in both directions. Closed center 4-way (C) blocks all ports in neutral and must be used with a pressure compensated pump. Open center 4-way (O) connects all ports to tank when in neutral. SPOOL ACTION Three position detent (D) holds the spool in neutral and both active positions. Rotary friction detent (E) applies friction to the spool as it is rotated so that the handle does not rotate when the handle is released, a detent groove clearly indicates neutral position (only available on TS1). Friction detent (F1) applies friction to the spool so that the spool does not move when the handle is released, a detent groove clearly indicates neutral position. Spring center (S) returns the handle to neutral when the handle is released. Spring center detent (SD) springs back to neutral from one position and is mechanically detented in the other position. Fourth position float (K) is similar to spring center except it has a fourth position that makes all ports common to each other (last spool section only). Normally open electric switch (WO) is used with (S), (F1) and (D) options. Normally closed electric switch (WC) is used with (S), (F1) and (D) options. The electric switches can be used on the TS1, TS2 and TS3 (first and third spool only). ACTUATORS Lever handle (L) pressurizes the B port when the handle is pushed towards the valve body. Lever handle (J) pressurizes the A port when the handle is pushed towards the valve body. Rotary handle (H) is used to rotate spool in or out. No actuator (N) is used when it is necessary to connect the spool to an external actuator (L type spool). No actuator (M) is used when it is necessary to connect the spool to an external actuator (J type spool). OPTIONS Power beyond (W) offers high pressure carryover for valves down stream. The TS series is also field convertible to power beyond. Area differential relief cartridge (B) is available in pressure intervals of 100 psi (6.9 bar).

GENERAL CONVERSION INFORMAT ION

NOTE: The standard 1, 2 and 3 spool castings with (O) or (T) spools are assembled at the factory with the TS315 plug in the 10SAE (7/8-14) (1) top port.
12SAE OUTLET PORT 2 3
CLOSED CENTER CONVERSION To have the casting in closed center operation, both the top port (1) and internal port (2) must be plugged. Take the TS315 plug from the top port (1) and insert it into the internal port (2). Then plug the top port (1) with any std. SAE plug (7/8 14) or purchase a plug from the factory. Closed center blocks Pump only, the condition of ports A and B depend on the spool type. (See illustration above) POWER BEYOND CONVERSION To convert the valve to power beyond operation, take the TS315 plug from the top port (1) and insert it into the internal port (2). Next, plumb a #10 SAE ;fitting from the top port (1) to the adjoining valve. Lastly, run a line from the #12 SAE outlet port (3) to the reservoir. (See illustration above) Page D-19
