The Hydraforce FC12-20A-0-N (5420000) is a screw-in, cartridge-style, variable orifice hydraulic flow control valve with an integrated reverse flow check. This model is designed to provide precise control over hydraulic fluid flow in a system, with the capability to adjust the orifice from fully closed to fully open through a counterclockwise rotation. It features a robust construction with hardened parts for enhanced durability and an aluminum knob option for easier manual adjustments. The valve ensures positive shutoff with linear adjustment characteristics and includes safety features that prevent adjustments from being backed out unintentionally. The FC12-20A-0-N is engineered to operate efficiently within a pressure range up to 3500 psi, with proof pressures up to 5000 psi and burst pressures reaching 13000 psi. It supports fluid flow rates up to 12 gallons per minute at full opening. The valve accommodates a wide range of operating temperatures depending on the seal material used—from -40°C to +212°F with standard Buna N seals, up to +400°F with fluorocarbon seals, and between +65°F and +225°F with polyurethane seals. This model is compatible with mineral-based or synthetic hydraulic fluids having viscosity ranging from 7.4 to 420 cSt and can handle maximum operating contamination levels as specified by ISO 4406 standards. The FC12-20A-0-N fits VC122 or similar cavities and can be installed without orientation restrictions, making it versatile for various hydraulic system configurations. Optional accessories include various seal kits tailored for different environmental conditions and hydraulic requirements, ensuring reliable performance and longevity in demanding operational contexts.
