What is a directional valve?

A directional valve is a fundamental part of every hydraulic system. It allows fluids to flow in different directions from one or multiple sources. Directional valves are either electrically or mechanically operated. 

At TVH we have an extensive range of directional valves with different in - and outlet configurations, voltages and ports. Find out more about the range we offer below.

There are two things to consider when choosing a directional valve for your system: the number of ports and the number of positions.  Since the valve provides a passageway for fluid to or from different components, this has a strong influence on the functioning of the system. Here are some types of directional valves we offer:

  • 2/2-way Directional Valve: this valve has two flow pipe connections and can switch into two different positions. 
  • 3/2-way Directional Valve: this valve has three flow pipe connections and can switch into two different positions.
  • 4/3-way Directional Valve: this valve has four flow pipe connections and can switch into three different positions.
  • 6/2-way Directional Valve: this valve has six flow pipe connections, allowing flow from different sources. The valve can switch into two different positions.
  • 8/3-way Directional Valve: this valve has eight flow pipe connections, allowing flow from many different sources. The valve can switch into three different positions.

There are many possibilities when it comes to directional valves. Port and position layout, electrically or mechanically operated... It all depends on the application. We work with the best brands in the business to bring you an extensive range of directional valves such as Hydraforce, Rexroth and Hydac.
