Modular Flow Control Valve - Cetop 3 (NG6) and Cetop 5 (NG10) Sandwich

Sandwich plates that drop between a Cetop directional valve and its subplate, so you get speed control without adding an in-line valve or another hose. Meter in, meter out or throttle on the pump port, in Cetop 3 and Cetop 5.

Ways to buy this valve:

• Off the shelf: seven configurations below, five Cetop 3 and two Cetop 5.
• Meter in or meter out? Meter out controls a load that can run away. Meter in suits a load that always resists.
• Priority flow instead of throttling? The RFP modular priority range mounts the same way, button below.
• Need it in line rather than in the stack? The STU and VRFU ranges are below.

Pick your valve

The Z2FS6 is the heavy duty option in the Cetop 3 group: 80 L/min and 315 bar against 35 L/min and 210 bar for the TCV plates, and it comes with the rotating plate so you can flip meter in to meter out on the bench.

What is in the box

• One sandwich plate in the configuration you select
• Cetop 3 (NG6) or Cetop 5 (NG10) interface both faces
• Adjustment screws or knobs as per the model
• Z2FS6 ships with its rotating plate. Bolts and seals are not included, reuse the ones in your stack or ask us for a kit

Specifications

How to choose

• Count your stack height before you order. A sandwich plate adds to it and the tie rods have to reach.
• Meter out for anything that can overrun, a boom coming down or a tipper body dropping.
• Meter in for a load that always pushes back, a press or a clamp.
• Over 35 L/min on Cetop 3? Take the Z2FS6, it is rated 80 L/min and 315 bar.
• Not sure which face is A? Send us a photo of the stack and we will mark it up.

Technicians Advice

The mistake that costs people a second trip is tie rod length. A sandwich plate adds 40 to 50 mm to the stack and the original bolts will not reach, so measure and order longer ones at the same time. Orientation is the other one: these plates are marked A and B and if you spin the plate you swap which service gets metered, which is exactly why the Z2FS6 ships with a rotating plate. Watch the pressure rating on the TCV plates, 210 bar is lower than most Cetop 3 directional valves and lower than a lot of Australian tipper and crane circuits run, so if your relief is set at 250 you want the Z2FS6. Set the screws with the system warm and remember these are not compensated, so a change in load changes the speed.
