BG5 Series 3-Port Pressure Compensated Non-Adjustable Constant Volume Priority Flow Divider, SAE -12 Ports, 0 - 30 GPM Main Flow, 8.00 Priority Flow

Description & Features

BRAND HYDRAULICS INC. presents the BG5 Series Priority Flow Divider a reliable hydraulic flow control valve. Designed with a precision ground heat-treated steel spool and a robust cast iron body this flow divider ensures durability and longevity. Operating within a flow range of 0 - 30 GPM it is pressure rated up to 3000 PSI making it suitable for demanding industrial applications.

Engineered for optimal performance the BG5 Series incorporates pressure compensation for both outlet ports ensuring consistent flow rates. The priority flow is factory preset to customer specifications offering tailored solutions for specific requirements. Each unit undergoes rigorous testing for pressure compensation and priority flow accuracy.

The large metering spool design allows for a significant pressure differential area enhancing efficiency. Recommended filtration is 30-micron to maintain performance and prolong the life of internal components. Buna N O-rings used in the construction provide reliable sealing under high pressures.

got a hydraulic circuit where one function has to stay steady no matter what the other one is doin. Is that what this BG5 priority divider is for?

Answer by: Customer Support on Feb 13, 2026, 9:42 AM

A priority flow divider like this takes one inlet flow and splits it into two outlet flows, a priority stream and an excess stream. Both outlet ports are pressure compensated, so it is built to keep the priority flow consistent even when load or pressure changes on either outlet, with the two outlet flows adding up to the inlet flow.

what's the priority flow set to on this unit, and is that something I can change out in the field?

Answer by: Customer Support on Apr 16, 2025, 6:36 PM

Priority flow comes preset at 8 GPM from the factory and is non-adjustable. There's no field setting to turn or modify. The whole point of this design is that the priority stream stays locked at that rate regardless of what the rest of the system is doing, so if 8 GPM isn't what your application calls for, you'd need a different preset configuration rather than trying to adjust this one.
