OPERATION:
The valve will block flow from ① to ② , and from ④ to ③ . Flow is allowed in the opposite direction when pressure is applied to port ② and/or ③ . The valve has a 2.5:1 pilot ratio, so at least 40 percent of the load pressure at port ① or ④ is required at the pilot lines (port ③ or ② )to open the flow passage to allow flow from port ① or ④ .
