| Applications under extreme conditions | Metal version |
2. Installation Type
| Installation on the cylinder or directional control valve with thread | Version with BSPP, BSPT, and metric thread |
| Installation on the cylinder or valve with Push-in technology | Push-in version |
3. Space Requirements
