Barksdale’s Sub-plate Mounted Manifold Valve products

provide ease of installation and service where a sub-plate design is

desired. They offer the benefits found in Barksdale’s line of mounted Heavy

Duty Valve products while incorporating a simplified fit. These valves provide superior direc-

tional control for fluids and gasses up to 4,500 psi in the toughest industrial applications.

Using Barksdale’s Shear-Seal® technology, the Sub-plate Mounted Manifold Valve prod-

ucts offer dependable performance and long life even when the media being controlled is

contaminated with debris that would ruin ordinary valves.

With Barksdale, Pressure is Under Control
Barksdale is a recognized leader in the design
and manufacture of superior directional control
valves for numerous hydraulic and pneumatic
industrial systems. At the core of Barksdale’s
exceptional valve performance is its ShearSeal®
technology which provides zero leakage* and long
life in tough applications where other valves fall
short.

Our Valves Don’t Wear Out…

They Wear In
What makes Shear-Seal® so special? This unique
design controls the media through internal gal-
leries in the sealing components rather than
across the critical sealing faces. This means that
contaminates that are common in many industrial
systems have little opportunity to damage the
valve. The continual sliding motion between the less steel internal elements that are compatible
Shear-Seal® faces and the rotor along with the with most common medias. Typical uses for
combination of spring and pressure loading allows Barksdale’s Heavy Duty valves include:
for automatic adjustment of the seals. Also the • Offshore Drilling Equipment
lapping action between the valve sealing elements • Steel Mills
mends minor sealing surface defects with each • Shipboard Hydraulic Control Systems
movement of the handle. The result is a valve that • Refineries and Chemical Processing Plants
doesn’t wear out – but wears in. • Power Generation Facilities

Low Operating Cost Flexibility by Design

The simplicity of the design of Barksdale’s
Subplate Mounted Valve simplifies periodic
maintenance and reduces time required to trou-
bleshoot a circuit. By removing only 4 bolts, the
valve can easily be serviced or removed from the
system. Also, with limited wear on parts, the cost
of keeping the valve working like new is kept to
minimum.
Designed For Tough Duty
The Sub-plate Mounted Manifold Valves are
constructed with bronze and ductile iron
exteriors and standard hardened stain-
