How to read DVCB8FN
Sun part numbers are the model followed by one code per option. Hyphens, slashes and spaces are only dividers, so DVCB8FN, DVCB-8FN, DVCB 8FN are the same part.
| Model | DVCB — Sun Hydraulics 2-way, vent-to-operate, directional valve with internal drain to port 3 and integral T-8A control cavity - normally closed |
|---|---|
| Control | 8 — T-8A Cavity |
| Minimum Control Pressure | F — 100 psi (7 bar) |
| Seal Material | N — Buna-N |
| Material / coating | Add /AP (stainless steel, passivated) or /LH (mild steel, zinc-nickel) to the end; no suffix is the standard finish. |

Technical features
- NOTE: The main stage valve should first be installed to the correct torque value followed by the T-8A pilot control section into the main stage valve to its required torque value.
- This valve is not bistable; it is capable of modulating between the two positions shown.
- Pressure at port 3 may oppose the opening of the valve. Because of this, port 3 may not be useable as a work port in your circuit. If this is a consideration, the 4 port version of this valve may be a solution.
- There must be a pressure source at port 1, relative to port 3, to shift the valve.
- The -8 control option allows the pilot control valve to be incorporated directly into the end of the directional cartridge via the T-8A cavity. These pilot control cartridges are sold separately and include solenoid operation, air pilot operation, and hydraulic pilot operation. See Pilot Control Cartridges.
- Leakage listed in technical data is for each path.
- Incorporates the Sun floating-style construction to minimize the possibility of internal parts binding due to excessive installation torque and/or cavity/cartridge machining variations.

Frequently asked questions
Is DVCB8FN the same as DVCB-8FN?
Yes. Sun Hydraulics writes this part number as DVCB8FN. It is the model DVCB followed by the configuration code; hyphens, slashes and spaces are only dividers, so DVCB8FN, DVCB-8FN, DVCB 8FN all refer to the same product.
Do you supply DVCB8FN in the UAE, GCC and India?
Yes. MultiFlow supplies genuine Sun Hydraulics cartridges, including DVCB8FN, to customers in the UAE, the wider GCC and India. Use Add to Enquiry on this page for availability, lead time and a quotation.
Can I get the datasheet and CAD files?
Yes. The datasheet, technical reference sheets and CAD files (DXF, DWG, STP) are listed in the Downloads section of this page.
Direct acting or pilot operated - what do I use?
Direct-acting valves are used to prevent over pressure, and pilot-operated valves are used to regulate pressure. If you are unsure, use a direct-acting valve. Sun's direct acting valves are very fast, dirt tolerant, stable, and robust. Sun's pilot-operated valves are moderately fast, they have a low pressure rise vs. flow curve, and they are easy to adjust.
How big is a drop of hydraulic oil?
There are exactly 250 Sun drops in a cubic inch or 15 in a cc.
What parts of the Sun cartridge valve are field serviceable?
Only external seals are serviceable. Sun offers replacement seal kits for all cartridge models. The applicable kit part number can be found in the product page's Technical Data table or by using our Cartridge Seal Kit search function located under Accessories. Please note: Converting the external seals from one material to another does not ensure fluid compatibility with that material due to the existence of internal seals within the cartridge.
