BRAND Hydraulics B50, B100, B100AB User Manual

B50, B100, & B100AB STYLE PROPORTIONAL DIVIDER

INSTALLATION & USER GUIDE

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Rated for 3000 psi (207 bar).

• 30-Micron filtration recommended.

MOUNTING & ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS:

 Mounting – Valve can be mounted in any orientation. Valve must be mounted on a flat surface. Special attention should

be paid to not bend or twist the casting when mounting. Doing so may cause the compensator spool to bind, causing
valve to fail. It is recommended to install washers between casting and mounting surface.

 Automatic Adjustment Bypass (B100AB valve) – The adjustment screws are for the automatic adjustment bypass for

each outlet. If one cylinder ends its stroke ahead of the other, the bypass to the lagging cylinder will automatically open
(750psi [51.7bar] pressure differential) allowing the lagging cylinder to finish its stroke. The bypasses are factory set to
open at a pressure difference of 750psi [51.7bar].

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Q: What port sizes and flow rates are available for this valve?
A: The following port sizes and flow rates are available

 3/8” NPT (2-8 gpm (7.6 to 30.2 lpm))
 1/2” NPT (8-16 gpm (30.2 to 60.5 lpm))
 3/4” NPT (16-30 gpm (60.5 to 113.4 lpm))
 #10 SAE (8-16 gpm (30.2 to 60.5 lpm))
 #12 SAE (16-30 gpm (60.5 to 113.4 lpm))

Q: Can one of the outlet ports be blocked?
A: No. If one of the outlet ports is blocked or plugged for any reason the compensation spool will attempt to compensate for

increasing pressure, and shift thus blocking the other port as well, and rendering valve inoperable. DO NOT BLOCK
EITHER OUTLET PORT.

Q: Can flow be sent in reverse through valve.
A: Yes, but only if you have the B100 or B100AB valves. If you’re unsure of your valve’s model number, please contact

factory for assistance.

GENERAL INFORMATION:

Pipe Thread Sealant - Warranty is void when Teflon tape is used to seal pipe threads. This is because Teflon tape is a

friction reducing agent which allows customers to over-torque fittings. We recommend using a sealant that does not include
friction reducing agents i.e. Lead Plate.

• Weight:

-B50 & B100 = 5 lbs. (2.3 kg).
