DH220-5 Main Relief Valve
1. Product Overview
DH220-5 Main Relief Valve (also called main gun) is a cartridge-type pressure control valve installed on the main control valve of Doosan Daewoo DH220-5 crawler excavator.
It serves as the core safety component of the whole hydraulic system, limiting the maximum working pressure of the main hydraulic circuit. When system pressure exceeds preset value, the valve opens automatically to divert excess hydraulic oil back to the tank, protecting hydraulic pump, main control valve, cylinders and pipelines from overload damage. High-quality interchange spare part can directly replace OEM component for equipment maintenance.
OEM Part Number: 2420-1225 / 2420-1225A
Compatible Models: DH200-5, DH220-5, DH220-7, DH225-7, HD820, EC210

3. Working Principle
Under normal operation, the spring pushes the spool tightly against the valve seat, and the relief channel remains closed.
Once hydraulic system pressure rises above the preset pressure, hydraulic force overcomes spring tension to lift the spool. Excess pressure oil flows back to hydraulic tank to restrict system peak pressure.
When pressure drops below set value, spring resets the spool and closes the overflow passage, so the hydraulic system maintains stable working pressure. It effectively prevents pressure surges and overload impact inside the hydraulic system.
4. Core Advantages
1. Specially matched for Doosan DH220-5 excavator; installation thread, dimension and pressure characteristic fully consistent with original valve, direct replacement without modification.
2. Precision-machined spool and valve seat, good sealing performance, low internal leakage, stable pressure holding during long-time heavy-duty operation.
3. High-strength alloy steel valve body, wear-resistant, anti-impact, suitable for frequent load changes in earthmoving and construction sites.
4. Smooth pressure response, effectively suppress pressure shock, reduce system heat generation and improve the service life of overall hydraulic components.
5. Pressure adjustable via adjusting nut; convenient on-site debugging to match machine working requirements.
6. Reliable aftermarket replacement part, short delivery cycle and cost-effective for overhaul service.
5. Application Range
Main safety protection component for Doosan Daewoo DH220-5 medium excavator hydraulic system.
Widely used in earthmoving construction, municipal engineering, road building, stockyard loading and general infrastructure projects.
6. Common Faults & Replacement Suggestion
Typical failures caused by defective main relief valve: Insufficient digging force, slow all movements, unstable action, high hydraulic oil temperature, abnormal system noise.
