Sun standard manifold model codes are typically comprised of a three-character alpha/numeric combination stamped on one face of the manifold, normally below the Sun Hydraulics logo. Standard manifold model codes may also have a modifier comprised of a "/" followed by the letters V, S, Y, M, Z, T or W. These modifiers change the material, threads and/or seal material in a manifold.
A manifold search will work with or without a modifier. To search for a model code with the modifier, the "/" must be included.
Modifier Explanations:
| Modifier | Viton Seals | |
|---|---|---|
| Aluminum | None | /V |
| Ductile Iron | /S | /Y |
| Aluminum-Metric | /M | /Z |
| Ductile Iron-Metric | /T | /W |
Examples of Manifold Model Codes:
| FAV | 2 Port, line mount, aluminum manifold |
| FAV/S | 2 Port, line mount, iron manifold |
| GBS | Sandwich manifold, ISO 03, aluminum with Buna-N seals |
| GBS/Y | Sandwich manifold, ISO 03, iron with Viton seals |
Sun manifolds come in a variety of shapes and sizes. The following image shows an example of model FAV.
