The Hydraforce 5600409.M173 (Material Number: 5600409.M173) is a screw-in, cartridge-style, direct-acting, poppet-type hydraulic relief valve designed for lower flow circuits requiring minimal internal leakage. This model effectively blocks flow from port 1 to port 2 until the pressure at port 1 is sufficient to overcome the spring-opposed poppet, allowing it to unseat. The valve features various pressure adjustment options, including non-adjustable factory presets and adjustable options labeled A, B, and C with positive stops to prevent springs from becoming solid. It offers optional spring ranges up to 248 bar (3600 psi) and ensures rapid response to pressure changes. The valve also provides an optional bi-directional pressure capability with a specific seal option. Its compact size makes it suitable for applications with space constraints. While this model serves existing and new applications effectively, it is noted that the RVD58-20 valve is considered best-in-class and can replace this model in most applications due to its comparable pressure and flow ratings, response rate, and improved pressure rise characteristics. Additionally, the RVD58-20 offers a smaller size without dynamic seals at a competitive cost. For those considering transitioning to the newer model, it's important to note that the VC08-2B cavity variation may be required for some manifolds; however, drop-in replacement might be possible depending on the manifold design. Assistance is available for evaluating specific application requirements when considering this transition.
