Mixed functions
Specify spool behaviour and controls section by section rather than forcing every service into the same arrangement.
Our HS2 Series
Configure the inlet, working sections, spool functions, controls and outlet as one application-specific valve bank, then send the starting point for technical review.
Why sectional
Sectional construction is useful when the functions, controls or circuit requirements do not fit a standard fixed-body valve.
Specify spool behaviour and controls section by section rather than forcing every service into the same arrangement.
Build the bank from inlet, working and outlet sections for a serviceable, application-led assembly.
Manual, cable, joystick, pneumatic and assisted-control routes can be reviewed against the intended duty.
Assembly anatomy
Introduces pressure flow and the selected relief arrangement from the left or right as required.
One to seven commercially offered services, each reviewed for spool function and control.
Completes the return, carry-over/power-beyond or closed-centre requirement within the designed circuit.
Advisory configurator
Use one representative section to describe the starting arrangement. Mixed functions can be detailed in photographs, drawings or the enquiry message.
Starting point
The result will organise the choices into a readable enquiry summary. It will not generate a confirmed supplier order code.
Configuration overview

| Area | Typical choices | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Spool function | Double acting, single acting, float and mixed arrangements | Determines work-position and neutral flow paths |
| Positioner | Spring return, detents and assisted shifting | Changes how the operator commands and holds movement |
| Control | Lever, cable, joystick, pneumatic, electro-pneumatic or electro-hydraulic | Affects ergonomics, packaging, air/electrical supply and fail behaviour |
| Relief | Inlet and section-level options subject to the final build | Must protect the system within every component rating |
| Outlet | Open centre, carry-over/power beyond or closed centre | Must match the pump and downstream circuit |
The supplier catalogue describes a wider technical construction range. Hydraulic Equipment's current public commercial offer is one to seven working sections, configured by enquiry.
Quotation inputs
Send the machine/application, flow, pressure, section count, required movement for each service, preferred controls, ports, inlet orientation and outlet arrangement. Drawings, photographs and existing valve details are useful.
A complete HS2 bank is configured around the requirement and technically checked before supply. The website configurator is a conversation aid rather than a checkout tool.
Send the HS2 requirementCatalogue figures are configuration-dependent. Final selection must be checked against the pump, actuator loads, return pressure, thermal duty and machine circuit. Installation and commissioning must be completed by competent people in accordance with the machine documentation and applicable safety requirements.
Talk to technical sales
Send the section-by-section functions and the known hydraulic details. We will help convert them into a technically reviewed assembly.
