SDA0080A 3" M16 SAE BUTTERFLY SUCTION VALVE (ALUMINUM)

The SDA0080A 3" M16 SAE Butterfly Suction Valve is a lightweight aluminum valve designed for large-diameter hydraulic suction applications. With a 3" SAE connection, DIN 80 interface and M16 mounting, it provides an efficient solution for isolating and managing hydraulic pump suction lines.

The aluminum construction offers a substantial weight advantage compared with traditional cast-body valves. This makes the SDA0080A particularly useful for mobile hydraulic equipment, high-capacity hydraulic power units and installations where reducing component weight is important.

Its compact butterfly configuration allows the valve to be incorporated into suction-line assemblies without taking up excessive space around the hydraulic pump or reservoir.

Lightweight Solution for Large Hydraulic Lines

The SDA0080A aluminum butterfly suction valve combines a large 3-inch hydraulic connection with a lightweight construction.

Using aluminum instead of a conventional cast body can significantly reduce the weight of the suction assembly. This is particularly beneficial for applications where hydraulic components are mounted on mobile equipment or where the overall machine weight needs to be controlled.

Despite its lightweight construction, the valve is designed specifically for hydraulic suction-line installations requiring a large flow connection.

Hydraulic Pump Suction Applications

The SDA0080A can be installed on the inlet side of hydraulic pumps to provide an accessible manual isolation point. It is suitable for systems where the pump needs to be separated from the hydraulic reservoir during maintenance or servicing.

Common applications include:

• Hydraulic power units
• Large hydraulic oil tanks
• Hydraulic reservoirs
• Hydraulic pump suction lines
• Mobile hydraulic machinery
• Construction equipment
• Agricultural machinery
• Industrial hydraulic systems
• High-flow hydraulic installations
• Hydraulic filtration systems
• Hydraulic cooling circuits

3" SAE and DIN 80 Compatibility

The 3" SAE connection and DIN 80 interface make the SDA0080A suitable for large hydraulic suction assemblies.

It can be integrated with compatible SAE/DIN adaptor flanges, hydraulic compensators and other connection components to create a complete pump-to-reservoir suction arrangement.

This configuration can help maintain a compact installation while providing flexibility between the hydraulic pump and tank connection.

Compact Butterfly Design

The butterfly valve configuration provides an efficient way to isolate a large hydraulic suction line without the bulky construction associated with some conventional valve designs.

The compact arrangement is useful where there is limited space around the pump, reservoir or hydraulic power unit.

The manual operating mechanism also provides straightforward access for opening and closing the suction circuit during operation and maintenance.

Aluminum Construction Advantages

The aluminum body provides several practical benefits for hydraulic equipment manufacturers:

• Reduced component weight
• Easier handling during installation
• Suitable for mobile hydraulic equipment
• Compact construction
• Efficient use of installation space
• Lower overall weight of the suction assembly

These characteristics make the SDA0080A a practical alternative when a lighter solution is preferred over a cast-body suction valve.
