How Many Sections Do You Actually Need
The P80 is available with 1 to 7 sections. Each section controls one hydraulic function - one lever per cylinder or motor. The number of sections is set at production and cannot be changed later.
The practical question is not "how many functions does the machine have today," but "how many functions will it have over the life of the valve." If the answer is the same number, monoblock is a clean choice. If the answer might grow, a sectional valve is the safer route.
A common mistake is ordering an extra section "just in case." An unused section adds cost, adds a lever the operator will bump into, and adds length to the valve body. It does not add flexibility, because the body cannot be reconfigured.
Flow Sharing Between Sections
When more than one lever is moved at the same time, the sections share the pump flow. The P80 uses a parallel circuit. The function with the lighter load receives more flow. The function with the heavier load receives less.
This behavior is predictable, but it is not always obvious to the operator. In a loader with boom and bucket controlled simultaneously, the bucket - which usually sees a lighter load - will move faster than the boom. If the operator expects both to move at the same speed, the machine will feel inconsistent.
There is no adjustment on the valve that changes this. If load-independent flow sharing is required, a different circuit type or a flow control valve is needed downstream.
Installation Space and Lever Layout
A monoblock valve with 7 sections is longer than a 2-section version. The mounting footprint grows with each section. Before ordering, measure the space where the valve will sit. Check that the lever arc does not interfere with the operator's leg, the seat, or the machine frame.
Lever spacing is fixed. On a 7-section valve, the levers are closer together than on a 2-section valve. If the operator wears gloves, or if the levers are operated in cold weather, tight spacing can make it harder to grab one lever without touching its neighbor. This is a comfort issue, not a functional one, but it affects how the machine feels to use.

Company background
Shijiazhuang Laiye Import & Export Trading Co., Ltd., part of Hebei Onederful® Hydraulic Technology Co., Ltd., has been manufacturing hydraulic components since 1988 - over 35 years of experience. We are a factory, not a trading company, with around 200 employees and a full in-house production process covering casting, machining, assembly, testing, and phosphating.
Every valve is individually tested, not spot-checked, with test data filed against its serial number for full traceability. We export to more than 20 countries (based on our 2024 annual shipping records), hold ISO 9001 certification, and offer OEM customization, technical support, and a 12-month warranty. Material certificates, test reports, and certificates of origin are available upon request.
Production Process
The manufacturing process follows a standard hydraulic component production sequence. Each step is documented and traceable.
Raw Material Inspection
High-strength cast iron and alloy steel are checked for composition and mechanical properties before anything else happens.
Precision Machining
CNC equipment handles milling, drilling, grinding, and honing to hold tight tolerances on bodies, spools, and end covers. After machining, all parts go through deburring, cleaning, and dimensional verification.
Heat Treatment
Key components such as spools and valve seats undergo hardening to improve wear resistance and extend service life.
Surface Treatment
Phosphating or other rust-proof coatings are applied to protect against corrosion and improve surface durability.
Assembly
Skilled workers install spools, springs, seals, and control parts in sequence, with torque control on each connection.
Pressure Testing
Every assembled valve goes through hydraulic testing-pressure resistance, leakage detection, and functional debugging under rated working pressure.
Final Inspection
Visual inspection, dimensional confirmation, and test data review. Each valve is individually tested, not spot-checked, with test data filed against its serial number for full traceability.
When Monoblock Is the Wrong Choice
Monoblock is a good fit when the function count is known and stable. It is the wrong choice when any of the following apply:
The machine may gain a new hydraulic function after delivery.
The machine is a prototype and the final function count is not settled.
Service strategy requires replacing a single section without removing the whole valve.
The valve must be reconfigured for different machine variants.
In these cases, a sectional valve is the appropriate starting point, even if it costs more and takes up more space.
FAQ
Q: Can I add a section to the P80 Monoblock Directional Valve 80 L/min 250 Bar after it has been produced?
A: No. The P80 is a monoblock valve. The body is a single casting. The number of sections is fixed at production and cannot be changed later. If you think you may need more functions in the future, a sectional valve is the better choice from the start.
Q: How does the valve behave when two or more levers are moved at the same time?
A: The P80 uses a parallel circuit. When multiple sections are operated together, the pump flow splits between them. The function with the lighter load receives more flow. The function with the heavier load receives less. This is normal behavior. It is not a fault. If you need both functions to move at the same speed regardless of load, a different circuit type is required.
Q: Can I add a section later?
A: No. That's the trade-off with monoblock construction - it's cast as one piece. If you might need more functions in the future, a sectional valve would be a better choice. Tell us your current and future requirements and we'll recommend the right approach.
Q: What control options are available?
A: Manual lever is standard. We also offer solenoid, electro-hydraulic, pneumatic, and push-pull cable controls. We can match the control type to your machine's existing setup.
Q: Can the P80 be used with a closed-center hydraulic system?
A: It depends on the spool type. Some spool configurations are for open-center systems; others work with closed-center. Tell us your system type and we'll recommend the right spool.
Q: What if the spool sticks?
A: Sticking usually means contamination in the spool bore - dirt, metal particles, or degraded seal material. Work the lever back and forth a few times to free it. If that doesn't help, remove the spool, clean it, and check the bore for scoring. Clean oil prevents this - change your filters regularly.
Q: What temperature range can it handle?
A: -40°C to +80°C ambient temperature. Cold starts in winter, hot engine compartments in summer - the seals are chosen to handle both.
