Cartridge Valves Cavities Technical Information

Application Notes

OVERVIEW	The following pages show details for Danfoss ICS standard valve cavities. These cavities
	are designed around SAE standard O-ring thread ports. In many cases these cavities are
	interchangeable with cavities used by other manufacturers. The table below is intended
	as a guide for cartridge valve interchanges.

Dimensions

mm [in]

___________________________________________________________

SDC12-3 and CP12-3 are not interchangeable. A cartridge designed to fit the SDC12-3 cavity will fit in the CP12-3 cavity but there is risk of the top backup ring between port 1 and port 2 not being covered in the cavity. If the cartridge has pressure at port 1 the risk of the back up ring extruding exists.
