Hydraulic 6-way diverter valve – 3/8″ and 1/2″ BSP

Choose the connection and flow capacity

Check the connections in every lever position, the required flow, pressure and installation space against your machine’s hydraulic diagram before selecting a version.

The drawing gives the flow as 60+60 and 90+90. These figures refer to the two coupled flow paths, not to 120 or 180 l/min through a single passage.

How the 6-way diverter valve works

The lever selects which pair of ports connects to the two common lines. This lets you choose between two hydraulic actuators, such as two double-acting cylinders. The functions operate alternately; the valve does not divide the flow between both actuators simultaneously.

Dimensions from the technical drawings

All dimensions below are in millimeters. The letters refer to the dimension lines on the drawing for the selected version.

Connections and system compatibility

Applications include agricultural machinery, crane hydraulics and lifting equipment. Check your system’s hydraulic circuit diagram before selecting or connecting the valve.

Check the connections in every lever position, the required flow, pressure and installation space against your machine’s hydraulic diagram before selecting a version.

Install the valve with the system depressurized and connect the lines according to the appropriate hydraulic diagram. For connections, see our hydraulic hoses and hydraulic couplings.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between SPH390168 and SPH390169?

SPH390168 has G3/8″ BSP ports, a maximum flow of 60 l/min per path and a maximum pressure of 300 bar. SPH390169 has G1/2″ BSP ports, 90 l/min per path and a maximum pressure of 250 bar. The larger port size allows more flow but has a lower pressure limit.

Can both hydraulic functions operate at the same time?

No. The lever selects the active pair of ports. This is a diverter valve for alternate operation of two functions, not a flow divider for simultaneous operation.
