A matching bolt pattern is an important fit check, but it is only one part of hydraulic interchangeability. Two valves that mount on the same manifold can produce very different operating results.
Compare the hydraulic function
Check the spool symbol, center condition, flow paths, pressure-drop curves and port limits. Identify internal or external pilot and drain arrangements. A familiar series name or similar photograph does not establish equivalence.
Compare the installed envelope
Verify overall dimensions, connector clearance, manual override access and seal locations. The mounting interface may fit while a coil obstructs nearby pipework. Fastener requirements and surface condition also need confirmation.
Compare the machine behavior
Define switching response, leakage and fail-state requirements. Use a documented replacement review and a controlled validation plan. If any critical characteristic is unavailable, request clarification rather than presenting the substitute as a confirmed drop-in replacement.
Practical checklist
- Compare drawings and complete order codes side by side.
- Record functional differences and unresolved conditions.
- Approve the replacement only after the relevant machine tests.
