June 3, 2026 – AutomationDirect now offers Continental hydraulic valves which provide rugged, high‑performance control for industrial hydraulic systems built around NFPA standards. Available in D03 and D05 sizes, these valves support a wide range of circuit requirements while maintaining consistent operation under high pressure and demanding duty cycles.

NFPA D03 solenoid valves deliver reliable, compact directional control for machine tools, automation equipment, and general industrial hydraulics. Available in 4‑way, 2‑ or 3‑position configurations with open, closed, tandem, or float center options, they support both fixed‑displacement and pressure‑compensated pump systems. Cast‑iron construction, manual overrides, and DIN or conduit wiring options make these valves easy to install and service, with operating pressures up to 5,000 psi.

For operator‑controlled applications, NFPA D03 manual valves provide straightforward, dependable directional control without electrical actuation. These compact 4‑way, 3‑position valves are offered with closed or float center configurations and rugged cast‑iron bodies, making them well-suited for industrial environments where simplicity and durability are key.

NFPA D05 solenoid valves expand system capability with higher flow capacity while maintaining standard NFPA mounting. Offered in 4‑way, 2‑ or 3‑position designs with multiple center conditions, these valves feature robust cast‑iron construction, manual overrides, and DIN wiring. Rated up to 4,600 psi, they are ideal for presses, material handling systems, and other demanding hydraulic applications.
