Continental Hydraulics are at the forefront of engineering hydraulic solutions for over 50 years-a testament to a long-standing reputation built upon your challenges and opportunities. A worldwide leader- a one-stop-shop for valves, pumps, power units and proportional products-all assembled in the USA.
The Continental Hydraulics VSD*HL solenoid operated directional control valves are in compliance with ATEX 94/9/EC standards. They are suitable for use in potentially explosive atmospheres which fall within the ATEX II 2GD classification for gas and dust. The VSD03HL valve is supplied with a Zinc-Nickel surface treatment to ensure a salt spray resistance of up to 370 h. (test conducted per UNI EN ISO 9227 and evaluated per UNI EN ISO 10289).
The Zinc-Nickel surface treatment is available on the pilot operated valves upon request. A statement of conformity to the applicable standards is supplied with each valve. The label and electrical box on these valves have a concentration of magnesium lower than the critical value of 7.5% for the Hazardous Environments.
