Frequently Asked Questions
Is ZDR a relief valve / overflow valve?
No. A relief valve (DB/DBD) limits upstream/system pressure; a pressure reducing valve (ZDR) maintains a lower, constant pressure in a downstream (secondary) circuit. If inlet (primary) pressure drops below the set reduced pressure, the ZDR opens fully and passes flow unregulated - it does not limit pump pressure.
What does "DA2 /210Y" mean?
DA2 = NG6 sandwich, rotary hand knob with protective cap (hand-adjustable).
/210 = spring stage, max. adjustable reduced pressure = 210 bar (medium stage; /75 low, /150 low-med, /315 high).
Y = external pilot drain - pilot oil returns via separate Y-port to tank, not via the sandwich T-channel.
How do I adjust the reduced pressure?
With the secondary circuit under flow, lift/remove the cap and turn the rotary knob clockwise to increase, counterclockwise to decrease. Verify with a pressure gauge at the secondary port - the knob has no calibrated scale. Factory preset is typically near minimum; always fine-tune under operating flow if possible.
How is the valve mounted?
As a sandwich (stackable) valve between a directional control valve and the NG6 subplate. Uses NG6 DIN 24340 Form E / ISO 5781 bolt pattern. Sandwich port IDs: P = primary (high pressure from pump / P-port of subplate), A (or B) = reduced secondary pressure to actuator, T = tank return, Y = external pilot drain to tank (must be plumbed!).
Why specify the "Y" (external drain) version?
If the T-line in the valve stack has >2-3 bar backpressure, an internally drained ZDR's set reduced pressure will increase by the amount of T-backpressure. The Y-version drains the pilot independently to tank, keeping the set reduced pressure stable. Always use Y-version if T-backpressure is present or uncertain.
