Mounting code
No mounting symbol identifies the cartridge type. G identifies sub-plate mounting, while T identifies the threaded type.
Yuken direct operated pressure relief valves
Compare cartridge, sub-plate and threaded relief valves. Choose the flow capacity, pressure setting and adjustment method for your circuit.

YCB direct operated pressure relief valves limit excess pressure in hydraulic circuits. The size 06 and size 10 models have different flow capacities, with pressure options selected through the model code.
Choose a cartridge for the specified mounting cavity, a G sub-plate type or a T threaded type. Adjustment is available by screw or hand knob.
This page follows Yuken’s current design 21 catalogue. For an existing design 20 valve, send the complete nameplate code and mounting details so the replacement configuration can be checked.
| Model | Maximum operating pressure | Maximum flow | Catalogue mass |
|---|---|---|---|
| YCB-06 | 400 Kgf/cm² | 50 L/min. | 1.5 Kg. |
| YCB-10 | 400 Kgf/cm² | 120 L/min. | 3.25 Kg. |
The maximum operating pressure is distinct from the selected adjustment option. Check the minimum adjusting pressure and nominal override curves at the required flow before selection.
| Model symbol | Maximum adjustment pressure |
|---|---|
| A0 | 25 Kgf/cm² |
| A | 50 Kgf/cm² |
| B | 100 Kgf/cm² |
| C | 200 Kgf/cm² |
| D | 315 Kgf/cm² |
| E | 400 Kgf/cm² |
These values identify the maximum adjustment pressure for each option. They do not imply adjustment from zero; refer to the catalogue characteristics.
No mounting symbol identifies the cartridge type. G identifies sub-plate mounting, while T identifies the threaded type.
1 identifies the adjustment screw and 2 identifies the hand knob. The current catalogue uses design number 21.
| Model | Cartridge thread | Threaded type ports | Sub-plate |
|---|---|---|---|
| YCB-06 | M28 x 1.5 | 1/4 BSP.F | YCBM-06-20 1/4 BSP.F |
| YCB-10 | M35 x 1.5 | 1/2 BSP.F | YCBM-10-20 1/2 BSP.F |
The design 21 catalogue retains these design 20 sub-plate codes. Thread size alone does not establish fit: check the complete mounting cavity, port layout and dimensions in the catalogue.
