Sub-plates are available. Specify sub-plate model number from the table above. When sub-plates are not used, the
mounting surface should have a good machined finish.
The sub-plates are the same as those for HC type pressure control valves. With the reducing and check valve, the
sub-plate is used in position 1800 turned (upside down) from the normal position. When mounting the sub-plate,
be sure to bring the valve locating pin to the sub-plate pin hole. For HGM 06/06X/10/10X dimensions,
see page 287 & 294 in EIC-C-1003.

Instructions
To adjust the pressure, loosen the lock nut and turn the pressure adjustment handle slowly clockwise for higher
pressures and anti-clockwise for lower pressures. After adjustments, do not forget to tighten the lock nut.
Connect the drain port directly to the tank in which case the pressure at the drain port should be kept at a low
back pressure close to the atmospheric pressure.
In case of Threaded Connections, there are two threaded connections type primary pressure ports. They can be
connected each other in-line; one as an inlet and the other as an outlet or the valve can be used by plugging one of
the pressure ports.

Pressure Reducing and Check Valves

Pressure reducing and check valves are used to set the pressure of a hydraulic circuit below that of the main circuit.
They have check valves, which allow a free flow from the secondary side to the primary. Operating under remote
control is also possible by using the remote control port.

The sub-plates are the same as those for H and HC type pressure control valves. With the reducing and check valve,
the sub-plate is used in position 1800 turned (upside down) from the normal position. When mounting the sub-plate,
be sure to bring the valve locating pin to the sub-plate pin hole. For HGM 03/03X dimensions see page 5 and for
HGM 06/06X/10/10X dimensions, see page 287 & 294 in EIC-C-1003.
